Kyle B took the win in Saturday's Xfinity race but was then dis-qualified after post race inspection.
With a smirk, Kyle said that nascar must want him racing in Xfinity longer then he was gonna be :eek:
Kyle had earlier in the year said that he would retire from Xfinity once he reached 100 wins.
Saturday's win would have been number 98

Truex Jr had a hard hit in that one :eek:
After that ride thru the grass, Kyle B's car may have made it without much damage. The splitter is still intact !

Good day for Blaney.
This is about the time in the race that Blaney looses track positions, but seems not so today as he regains the lead again :)

Caution now for Byron and Ty Dillon.

That's cause Byron's Crew Cheif's wive is prolly in labour about now and so is Ty Dillon's wive.
They had to wreck so they could get both their asses to the hospital :eek:
