Weather: Sunny, 58°F, Wind WSW 4 mph, Gusts 7 mph Caution on lap 5 of 250 for a spin by Matt Mills (42). Caution on lap 43 of 250 for a spin by Keith McGee (22). He tagged Taylor Gray (17) in the incident.

So far this race has been as exciting as watching a washing machine work for a couple of hours. MRN is working hard to call the race, but it has very much looked like a bunch of cars driving around in circles and little more.

Christian Eckes (19) holds off Kyle ‘KyBu’ Busch (7) to win.

Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring.
