And rookie Kyle Larson's fast practice time, hands him the Cup pole do to rain.

For those unable to catch the race on ESPNews, enjoy the following stream! (y)

Maybe they will air it on ESPN now that the Playoff game is over?

I doubt it...

 

[ShadowKnight508]

Well that didn't take long. Lepage crashes on the backstretch after contact with one of the ex-Penske Challengers (didn't catch the number) when the #17 had issues coming off of Turn Two.

Pretty cool to see the fog rolling into the area like it is. Looks pretty awesome under the lights.

 

[canadienhits]

Is it me, or are the Carl Long Motorsports cars just moving roadblocks? Well, not very good ones at that.

 

[g-man24]

Race now being shown on ESPN2. Weird.

 

[ThatOneShredder]

I'm at prom.... Top 5?

 

[ShadowKnight508]

I'm at prom.... Top 5?

Harvick

Elliot

Bayne

Scott

Kyle Busch

(EDIT: Busch up to 4th and Sadler up to 5th with Bayne slipping back to 6th). Harvick out front by 4.9 seconds

 

[zaw24fan]

Tire problems again possibly starting.

Will Goodyear learn to just stay with what works?

I believe the ex-Penske Challenger car was J.J. Yeley in the #28 that hit Kevin Lepage.

 

[canadienhits]

Ernie Cope almost gambled himself into a wrecked race car. Yea, way to avoid seeing that everyone was cording up and down pit road.....:-/

 

[K.Chuck]

little Roush payback for Darlington?

 

[zaw24fan]

"You will not win this championship" V2 anyone?

 

[ShadowKnight508]

Congrats to Harvick and the whole #5 Tide team on dominating the race tonight. That car was bad fast, and once it got out front, that was all she wrote.

 

[DBReaver35]

I am torn that a cup guy won but its my guy and Damn Chase is the real deal amazing what he is doing.

 

[Pabig]

Glad to read that Harvick won.

 

[Gwen Cole]

I just lost a lot of respect for Bowyer.
