Barely a lap later, caution #5 flew when Ward Burton got into trouble off turn 2, going hard into the wall, and gave Jr., who was at the inside front, got one of two laps back, as well as all three of the other cars, and gave Dale a chance that a lot of people likely thought was out of the cards, a chance to win. The caution actually flew at lap 106, and the #22 of Burton is being towed away at this point. It looked like a very hard and painful hit, and brings back to mind a quote from Darryl Waltrip, 'To those who say that these driver's aren't athletes, well, you try to flip and wreck like these driver's do, like they have to train for' Well, it seems on coming back from the commercials that the rain is falling again, and it looks a lot like the track is under darkness. More in a few.
Ok, so the rain doesn't appear close to ending, and I want to go to bed, as it is past 4 AM. I will try to watch a little more in the morning, and hopefully the race did go longer. Yes, I had not planned on this being a 24 hour blogging event that it is likely only last about 6 or so hours, perhaps less. I know at 6:30 my time the taping finished, so it is very possible that I missed the end of the great American Auto Race.
