The Xfinity cars raced today at the Indianapolis Road Course
Pretty good race with Cindric and those that could keep pace with him.

They were flying at Indianapolis !
I think it was on turn 6, in a chacan type corner, they had a rather large bump off the track but in that corner. The #26 car went over that bump and got some big time air. I bet his front wheels came 6 feet off the ground

Harvick not happy

Seems the 3 time winner at Indy oval course is not happy they changed to a road course.

Keslowski seems to be tickled pink with the course

 

[dara]

Going to be hard to keep HMS off the podium.

 

[dara]

Its going to be interesting with the pits, opposite direction. I think the move to the road course was partly due to the narrow for NASCAR entry to the pits in the normal direction.

 

[dara]

Most of the leaders came in before the stage, Reddick is leading. (Briscoe led most of the race, followed by Byron, Elliott and Larson.)

 

[dara]

Tyler Reddick wins Stage 1, followed by Michael McDowell and Austin Dillon.

 

[dara]

Exciting restart for Stage 2. Bad Brad elected to skip the pits and led, but Elliott passed him, now Logano and Larson following.

 

[dara]

Logano spins, Kyle Busch moves into 3rd.

 

[dara]

Again the leaders come into the pits , Reddick and A Dillon stay out before the stage2 end.

 

[dara]

Tyler Reddick win stage 2, followed by Austin Dillon and Ryan Preece. Before the Caution, Kyle Larson passed Chase Elliott for the top spot among the cars already pitted. Still a while to go, but that might have been for the race win.

 

[dara]

After the restart, Larson, Elliott and Byron. One more stop is needed, about 35 lap fuel window.

 

[crazed 9.6]

It's go time !!

 

[dara]

Final caution , leaders come in, Hamlin stays out. Elliott's car fell off the jack so he falls out of contention.

For the restart, Hamlin, Kurt Busch and Matt D. will lead out with 6 laps to go. Larson in 5th.

 

[dara]

Wow, massive crash at lap 5, the curbing came up, Logano, Preece, Byron out.

 

[dara]

Red flag, 4 laps to go, but will take some time to fix this track.

 

[dara]

Involved in the accident per NASCAR: #15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 37, 42, 77, 99. 19 also had an issue a lap before on the same curb, spun but still in the race..
