Blue skies with fluffy clouds in Dover after a cool and cloudy start this morning. The stages are 60-60-80 for this race. If yesterday&#8217;s practice is any indication there will be quite a few cautions in this race. It&#8217;s the final Dash for Cash race.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Caution is out on lap 6 of 200 for a spin by Ryan Sieg who got tapped by Uncle Brenny trying to get a hold of his car which was sideways.<\/p>\n<p>Caution is out for the second time on lap 28 of 200 for a spin by Brandon Jones after getting tapped by Wreckless Ryan Reed.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 32 of 200.<\/p>\n<p>Caution is out on lap 34 of 200 for Frankenstein getting to the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 38 of 200.<\/p>\n<p>Caution on lap 41 of 200 for Timmy Hill getting into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 46 of 200.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Suarez is coming to pit road on lap 50 after losing a lot of spots, seemingly after an incident with Frankenstein, with a tire issue.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Tifft is coming onto pit road on lap 53 of 200 for a tire issue.<\/p>\n<p>Kutey Kyle wins stage one.<\/p>\n<p>William Byron and Brennan Poole have qualified for the Dash for Cash.<\/p>\n<p>Caution on lap 76 of 200 for an incident by Spencer Gallagher. Spencer&#8217;s out of the car and shaking his hand as though he&#8217;s hurt it.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 81 of 200.<\/p>\n<p>Caution on lap 93 of 200 for Harrison Rhodes blowing up.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 99 of 200. Bubba and Blaney are quickly out front.<\/p>\n<p>Erik Jones are headed to the pits on lap 101. He seemed to get squirrelly and possibly kissed the wall. Da Brat headed to the garage instead of going to the pits.<\/p>\n<p>Caution is out for debris on lap 112 of 200. It&#8217;s the oil pump belt from Erik Jones&#8217; car. Da Brat blowed up.<\/p>\n<p>Bubba Wallace takes the lead from Ryan &#8216;Son&#8217; Blaney to win the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Bubba and Elliott Sadler have qualified for the Dash for Cash.<\/p>\n<p>Caution on lap 136 of 200 for a spin by Blake Koch who was collected in an incident between Daniel Hemric and Brennan Poole. Blake is having trouble getting the car re-fired.<\/p>\n<p>Blake is out of the car and heading to the ambulance. The car apparently got hung on the sway bar keeping him from being able to turn it and NASCAR wouldn&#8217;t allow them a push so Blake could refire it. Betcha if it would&#8217;ve been one of the NASCAR darlings he would&#8217;ve gotten the push. I feel sad that I feel that way, but the past few years of NASCAR &#8211; the O&#8217;Donnell era &#8211; brings those thoughts to mind.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting on lap 140 of 200. Daniel Suarez leads them to the green flag.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Anderson has had a rough weekend. He heads slowly to pit lane on lap 189 of 200. He had issues last night in the Truck Series race. He&#8217;s a small team &#8211; family team guy from South Carolina. Usually he has one car a weekend and if anything happens to that one, he&#8217;s out.<\/p>\n<p>Kutey Kyle wins stinking up the show. <!--03:20:28 PM --><\/p>\n<p>I find it amusing the MRN guys felt the need to say the Xfinity series drivers say they enjoy racing the Cup guys and that they explained why Kyle Larson was in the race based on the NASCAR rules. A good sign that he&#8217;s stinking up the show and that the Xfinity cars are no competition for them &#8211; not really a race.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Son&#8217; is pretty bummed about his second place finish. Daniel Suarez seems to be okay with his third place finish. This series could almost be called the Cup Series warm up round some days. This is one of them. Kutey Kyle running away from the field makes for a very boring race.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Custer is the highest finishing Xfinity series regular with a fourth place finish. Wreckless Ryan Reed finished fifth due to a strategy move of bringing him in before the stage end and leaving them out during the final pit stop.<\/p>\n<p>William Byron wins the Dash for Cash $100,000 check finishing sixth. He said they were racing for 6th or 7th due to the guys getting off cycle on tires and getting track position.<\/p>\n<p>JRM is at the top of the points standings &#8211; Elliott Sadler leads Justin Allgaier by twelve points. William Byron is in third.<\/p>\n<p>Squinty-Douchey is in the booth with Adam Alexander and Michael Waltrip. He says the stages changed things. If not for the stages, he said, you would&#8217;ve seen those cars up front for the whole race. Yowww! That would&#8217;ve been worst than it was. The section with Bubba and Blaney was good, but otherwise it was kind of a Cup race without the most interesting Cup drivers.<\/p>\n<p>I have an idea &#8211; a Cup driver can race in the Xfinity series until he wins a Cup race.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Autosports News:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Chase-Elliott-Ready-to-Move-On.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elliott Ready to Move On<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Kyle-Busch-Wins-Dover-Pole.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kyle Busch Wins Dover Pole<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Jimmie-Johnson-Welcomes-Track-Changes.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnson Welcomes Track Changes<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Daytona-to-Host-Professional-Fighters-League.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIS to Host Professional Fighters League<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Teams-Complete-New-Hampshire-Test.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teams Complete New Hampshire Test<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Regan-Smith-Returns-in-43-Ford-for-Dover.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smith Returns in No. 43 for Dover<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Kyle-Busch-Addresses-Emotion.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kyle Busch Addresses Emotion<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/NASCAR-Fines-Rodney-Childers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NASCAR Fines Childers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Opinion-Summer-Sizzle-Or-Fizzle.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Opinion: Summer Sizzle Or Fizzle<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/NASCAR-Notebook-More-Stages-More-Points.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NASCAR Notebook: More Stages, More Points?<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/No-Charlotte-Repeat-for-Martin-Truex-Jr.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Truex Jr. Takes Points Lead<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Dale-Earnhardt-Jr-Will-Take-Top-10-in-Coca-Cola-600.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Earnhardt Jr. Will Take Top 10<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Austin-Dillon-Wins-Coca-Cola-600.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin Dillon Wins Coca-Cola 600<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-XFINITY\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Kyle-Larson-Wins-at-Dover.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Larson Dover Xfinity Winner<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-XFINITY\/News\/Articles\/2017\/05\/Ryan-Blaney-Wins-at-Charlotte.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">High Five for Blaney in Xfinity<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.com\/Race-Series\/NASCAR-Camping-World-Trucks\/News\/Articles\/2017\/06\/Johnny-Sauter-Wins-Bar-Harbor-200-at-Dover.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sauter Scores First Win of Season<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nascar.com\/news-media\/2017\/06\/02\/gase-gallagher-exchange-words-in-garage-after-wreck-in-practice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joey Gase, Spencer Gallagher exchange words after wreck in practice<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/racing\/nascar\/story\/_\/id\/19522008\/nascar-jeffrey-earnhardt-aims-build-team-build-dale-earnhardt-sr-legacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NASCAR &#8212;
