Ross Chastain (42) will lead the field to green alongside Christopher Bell (20). The stages for the race are 45-45-57 laps. Unfortunately the Cup guys are in the field, so this may not be much of a race.<\/p>\n
Caution is out for a wreck by Austin Cindric (60) on lap 2. Spencer Boyd (76) also got a piece of that as Cindric spun back across the track in front of him. Cindric threw quite a tantrum in the car. I’m surprised a playpen, diaper and pacifier didn’t appear in the car to accommodate him. Kim Coon mentions that he has tears in his eyes as she interviews him at the care center.<\/p>\n
Restarting on lap 10 of 147.<\/p>\n
Ross Chastain wins stage one.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 81 of 147 with Ross Chastain and Harvick up front.<\/p>\n
Looks like the tv folks are bored with the race now on lap 85 of 147 as we’re stuck with an extended in-car camera shot.<\/p>\n
Lap 87 back with the camera shot out the driver’s windshield. They’re really bored and this boring camera shot is reducing my interest in the race.<\/p>\n
Chastain wins the second stage.<\/p>\n
Ross Chastain will lead the field to green on lap 96 of 147. Brad ‘It’ Keselowski (22) will also be on the front row.<\/p>\n
It would be nice if every talented driver in the Xfinity series got the opportunity Ross Chastain has to drive a Cup-backed-prepped car and show his or her skills in a money-machine.<\/p>\n
On lap 104 of 147 ‘It’ got into the back of Chastain and makes him wiggle. ‘It’ goes down to the bottom and loses it up to the fence and Ross gets the lead back. Harvick also gets past ‘It’.<\/p>\n
As soon as Harvick dropped down beside Chastain we’re stuck with a look out Harvick’s window in split screen so we can’t really see what’s happening. Can we get NASCAR back on ABC\/ESPN please! NBC is<\/p>\n
Wow! Caution is out on lap 110 of 147 as Harvick and Chastain are battling Harvick runs Chastin into the wall, Chastain bounced off the wall and taps Harvick in the rear spinning him.<\/p>\n
Harvick stopped initially in Ross Chastain’s pit and dropped his window net. The NASCAR official explained that he needed to continue to the garage area.<\/p>\n
Chastain has returned the pits for a second time.<\/p>\n
Restarting on lap 116 of 147 with ‘It’ and Cole Custer (00) up front.<\/p>\n
Cole Custer sseems to have a tire rub.<\/p>\n
Ross Chastain is headed back into the pits due to a tire rub.<\/p>\n
Harvick said “that’s just a really inexperienced racer and a really bad move”. He said Ross just wrecked him, “hooked me in the right rear going down the backstretch”. He also said “that’s probably the reason he’ll never get a chance to drive any of them again”. Harvick is livid.<\/p>\n
‘It’ inherits the win after the crash between Harvick and Chastain. Elliott Sadler (1) finishes 5th. What a disappointing finish to what was an interesting race for a while.<\/p>\n
Cole Custer (00) finishes second. Tyler Reddick (9) finishes third. Justin Allgaier (7) finishes seventh.<\/p>\n
Darlington seems like it would be a really good track to see the Xfinity series regulars race without the Cup drivers, though the idea of seeing the best of the Xfinity series race in cars prepared by the Cup teams sounds interesting. Ross Chastain has been pretty good this season, but put him in Kyle Larson’s car and suddenly he’s on the pole and winning stages. Money tells.<\/p>\n
