Will accept, but not eligible for the diecast. If there is an effect to the podium, I may have to deduct points.

 

[erickson]

Thanks bud I was a bit busy today.........

 

[dara]

if 82harley shows up before stage 1 ends, I do have to offer the same. I'm thinking for Indy and the playoffs, I'll deduct 1/2 points from the lowest of the picks, rounded down, if late, and after Stage 1, the entire points for lowest of the picks. If no sub, the -10 rule applies.

 

[dara]

Early pits, but only a 70 lap window.

 

[dishuser]

dillon...what a dick

 

[dara]

Definitely a dick move.

Larson wins Stage 1, and dishuser and dara get the 25 bonus points.

Order:
Larson -10
Jones -9
Truex -8
Logano -7
Keselowski -6
Harvick -5
Hamlin -4
Ku. Busch -3
Ky Busch -2
Elliott -1

 

[dara]

First unscheduled yellow. Kyle Busch contacts Joey Gase and sends him to the wall and spin.

 

[dara]

Larson was hanging back after the restart, and now has the lead after letting Harvick and Truex fighting it out. Larson has the best car on the track, by far. Green flag stops coming up.

 

[dara]

Tough penalty on Truex for the uncontrolled tire. Gunman left too early.

 

[dara]

Kyle Larson wins stage 2, and bonus points to dara and dishuser. He keeps A. Dillon a lap down to keep Truex out of the luckydog

Order:
Larson -10
Keselowski -9
Logano -8
Elliott -7
Jones -6
Kurt Busch -5
Newman -4
Ky Busch -3
McMurray -2
Harvick -1
