Memorial Day Weekend at the Races
“History 300”
Written by Rick A. Talford NASCAR Enthusiast
CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA- The Nationwide Series ran their 10th race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Austin Dillon (3) was able to beat Kyle Busch (54) for the pole position. They raced 200 laps on the 1.5 mile track. Michael Annett returns to racing after being out since Daytona, with a sternum injury that happened with just three laps remaining in the race.
In Opening Ceremonies, A moment of silence was held for those impacted in Oklahoma. Nick Terry provided the Invocation. Kolby Garrison sang the National Anthem. TV Show Hosts Danny Koker and Kevin Mack was the Grand Marshall’s. Regan Smith (7) was the In-Race Reporter.
A few Cup drivers were running double duty: Kasey Kahne (5), Kevin Harvick (33), Kyle Busch (54), Matt Kenseth (18) and Joey Lagono (22).
Austin Dillon (3) led the first lap. On lap 9, Chris Buescher (16) tagged the wall and had to head to the pits.
On lap 45, the second caution flew when Robert Richardson (23) was touched and hit the wall. Johanna Long (70) also spun trying to get past Richardson.
On lap 87, the third caution flew for debris. 25 cars remained on the lead lap for the restart. On lap 153, another caution came out for debris. 18 cars are left on the lead lap.
On lap 167, Travis Pastrana (60) lost the rear grip of his car coming out of the corner. His car snapped sideways and ran nose first in the inside wall. John Wes Townley (25) and Joe Nemechek (87) also had some damage. Nemechek tried to get past the stopped car of Pastrana and clipped his rear corner, damaging his own race car.
On lap 178, Reed Sorenson (40) blew an engine and spun out. On lap 183, Dakota Armstrong (21) was spun into the wall during the restart. Michael Annett (43) was the driver that caused the wreck.
Kyle Busch was able to get away from Kasey Kahne for the win. He led all but 14 laps of the race for his 7th win at the track in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
The rest of the top ten were: Joey Lagono (22), Kyle Larsen (32), Kevin Harvick (33), Trevor Bayne (6), Justin Allgaier (31), Matt Kenseth (18), Regan Smith (7) and Parker Kligerman (77)
The next race will be on Saturday, at Dover on ESPN at 2 PM EST
“Indianapolis 500”
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA- The 97th running of the Indy 500 was scheduled to run May 26, 2013. Dario Franchitti and Helio Castronevez both would be trying to win their record fourth Indy 500 race. They would be attempting to match Foyt, Mears and Unser with four each. Ed Carpenter won the pole position for this race. The fastest qualifying lap was in 1996, with a speed of 237.498 mph. The Andretti Family will again race in the 500. 1969 Mario won the race, and in 67 other starts they have not returned to Indy Victory Lane. In 1974, Mario and Jeff Andretti both crashed and Michael was within 10 laps of winning and his engine failed. In 2006 Marco was poised to win with less than 1000 feet left to race, when Sam Hornish Jr. was able to slingshot around him and get to the line just ahead of him. Dario Franchitti is last year’s winner, after Takuma Sato crashed on this final lap. Between teammates Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti, the Target drivers have won three of the last five Indy 500 races. Tony Kanaan has been a well known driver who has come very close to winning this race, numerous times. “Crazy” Carl Fisher was the creator of this famous Superspeedway. The pace car was driven by 49ers coach, Jim Harbough. He drove the 2013 Corvette Stingray. Jim Neighbors sang “Back Home in Indiana” before the race started. He has done so, since 1972. Sandi Patty sang the National Anthem.
Local driver and pole setter Ed Carpenter (20) was able to stay the leader for this first lap. On lap 4, JR Hildebrand (4) crashed as he lost the rear of the car, coming out of the turn. On lap 10, Tony Kanaan (11) led a lap for the ninth straight Indy 500 race. Marco Andretti (26) was another strong car in the race.
On lap 36, Sabastian Saaverda (6) had crashed after being forced to make a move due to another car in his way. Saaverda wanted penalties to be levied for his accident.
On lap 59, Takura Sato (14) had a spin out that led to a third caution in the race. He did not damage his car, and was able to continue on after they restarted his race car. The race ran green for quite a long time after this spin. Last year’s Champion Ryan Hunter-Raey (1) had taken the lead on lap 160. There was a report of rain in the area, and everyone began running their hardest, just in case the rain would shorten the race.
On lap 179, Sabastian Bourdais (7) was going down pit road, when he lost control of his car and crashed against the pit wall. No caution was thrown, as he continued to his pit. Pit road speed was set at 60 mph.
On lap 193, Graham Rahal (15) had a crash, after he lost control coming out of a turn and slammed into the inside wall. On lap 197, after a restart for the fourth caution, Dario Franchitti (10) ran into the outside wall. This brought out the caution for the fifth time. They would not go back to green. Tony Kanaan was able to get to the front on that restart, and went on to win the race for the first time in twelve starts at the famous track. Rookie Driver Carlos Munoz (25) was able to bring home a second place finish, with Ryan Hunter-Raey taking third. Andretti racing finished second, third and fourth.
The rest of the top ten were: Marco Andretti (25), Justin Wilson (19), Helio Castroneves (3), AJ Allmendinger (2), Simon Pagenaud (77), Charlie Kimball (83) and Ed Carpenter (20).
The Average race speed was between 218-220 mph. There were 68 lead changes among 14 drivers. The Average speed of the race was 187.4 mph. These were all new records set in the new cars they have brought to the track this year.
.
“Coca-Cola 600”
CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA-The Charlotte Motor Speedway is the site for this weekend’s Memorial Day Race. The Coca-Cola 600 is the longest race in the NASCAR Series. This week in NASCAR, Dale Jarrett, Fireball Roberts, Tim Flock, Maurice Petty and Jack Ingram were selected to enter the NASCAR Hall of Fame in January. The Pole Position was won by Denny Hamlin (11) with Kurt Busch (78) starting second.
In Opening Ceremonies, Willie Robertson “Duck Dynasty” provided the Invocation. Amazing Grace was played by Scottish Bag Pipe players. Taps was then played by a US Soldier. Robin Meade sang the National Anthem. The Grand Marshalls for the Race were Sgt. First Class Aaron & Kat Causey and Alan Reyes. The In-Race Reporter was Clint Bowyer (15).
Danica Patrick (10), Trevor Bayne (21) and Joe Nemecheck (87) will start from the back, due to engine changes. 400 Laps will equal the 600 miles that are scheduled to be raced.
On lap 24, Kasey Kahne (5) took the lead. Trevor Bayne was forced to make a green flag stop due to paper getting caught in the grill. The car began to overheat, so they stopped near lap 30. Green flag stops began near lap 45. Casey Mears (13) and David Ragan (34) both were penalized for speeding on pit road.
On lap 69, debris brought out the first caution. 26 cars are left on the lead lap. On the restart Kyle Busch (18) got to the line before Kasey Kahne, the race leader, yet NASCAR did not penalize him as they should have. After just a few laps, Kahne took the lead back. In the first 100 laps, Kahne, Busch and Matt Kenseth (20) were the fastest cars on track.
On lap 114, Casey Mears (13) tagged the wall. This brought out the second caution of the race. Kahne lost three spots during the pit stop, and Kurt Busch lost six spots. 24 lead lap cars are left at this point.
On lap 122, a debris caution flew again. A beer can in a cooler and a Coke bottle were both thrown out on the track. A chunk of fiber rope, from the FOX overhead camera system was also on the track. Marcus Ambrose (9) had a chunk of it get caught under his car, and had to go into the pits to get it removed.
At lap 126, a “Red Flag” was thrown due to the fiber rope. Kyle Busch (18) also received some damage from the rope that fell onto the track. The camera drive, fiber rope that runs the camera back and forth was the one that broke. The support cable was not harmed. During this red flag, Busch got out of his car and was walking around looking at the damage to his car. He went to his pit stall and got a camera to take pictures of the damage. No other driver got out of their cars. Ambrose was already stopped in his pit box.
NASCAR held the red flag conditions, as they sent all the cars to the pit road for a fifteen minute repair time for all cars. Everyone will get their positions back due to this fiber rope causing the issues. The taking of pictures for the pit crew to react upon, should have been looked at, as a penalty. You can’t do anything while under the red flag, yet this was allowed by Busch for some reason. Nearly 40 minutes of a delay was created by the fiber rope. Twenty-five cars are on the lead lap at this point. They restarted at lap 131. After the yellow was lifted, Matt Kenseth (20) became the dominant car. The top three cars were still Kenseth, Kahne and Busch.
On lap 243, another debris caution flew. Again, the debris was not shown to the viewers. As a fan of NASCAR, I call these “Phantom Debris Cautions” that are usually called, when the leader gets too much of a lead. Kenseth had over a six second lead when the caution was thrown.
On lap 257, Kyle Busch started losing the engine on his race car. On lap 258, the fifth caution came out when Greg Biffle (16), Dave Blaney (7), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (88) and Travis Kvapil (93) were involved in a crash. Earnhardt Jr. had an engine issue (head broke) that started the crash for the other three cars. Everyone but the leader (Kenseth) made pit stops. Crew Chief Jason Radcliff apparently made the mistake of telling Matt to stay out.
On lap 304, a caution flew for debris on the track. Kenseth was very upset at this caution, as he told his pit crew that it was a teeny piece of rubber the size of a hand, down on the apron of the track. Just eight laps later, another caution (7th) came out for Landon Cassill (33) slapping the wall.
On lap 325, during the restart another caution came out for a crash involving Mark Martin (55), Aric Almirola (43), Jeff Gordon (24), Casey Mears (13) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (17). This led to the second “Red Flag” of the race, so they could clean up from the destroyed cars. On lap 328, Danica Patrick (10) was clipped and turned sideways into Brad Keselowski (2) by her boyfriend and rookie Stenhouse Jr., crashing both cars.
On lap 333, Jimmie Johnson (48) lost the rear grip of his car, and slid sideways off the track. As he was sliding, Juan Montoya (42), Matt Kenseth (20), Tony Stewart (14) and Paul Menard (27) all received minor damages. With sixteen laps to go, the eleventh caution flew when the rear panel fell off Johnson’s car.
Kevin Harvick was not a dominant driver in the race, but they call him the “Closer” for a good reason, Harvick was where he needed to be when it counted the most. He was able to out run Kasey Kahne for his second victory of the season, and his second win in the Coca-Cola 600.
The rest of the top ten were: Kurt Busch (78), Denny Hamlin (11), Joey Lagono (22), Ryan Newman (39), Tony Stewart (14), Clint Bowyer (15), Ryan Truex Jr. (56) and Marcus Ambrose (9). The race took 5 hours and 14 minutes to complete.
Next race is Sunday at Dover for the FedEx 400.

May 2013 Elmwood Reports
“Elmwood Village Board Reorganizes”
Submitted by Rick A. Talford
Citizen Journalist
ELMWOOD, WI- The May board meeting was held at the auditorium on Monday, May 13, 2013. A Hearing was held prior to the regular board meeting, so the sewer plant details could be provided to the village, by Gary Sweeney of Foth Engineering. After hearing many details about the three separate plans that have been considered, the primary plan was looked at, as the best for Elmwood. This sewer plant change will make it very similar to the one located in Spring Valley. The cost for the plant will be near $4 Million. There are USDA loans and grants that will be utilized for this project, with small increases to the citizens of the village on their monthly billings. No action was taken, as the final numbers have not been calculated as of yet. One of the biggest areas of concern for the new plant will remain, as the Phosphorus levels have been decreased by the DNR. The current allowance of 1.0 mg/l, has been changed to .075 mg/l. It was stated that this is nearly impossible for them to do, and they will likely need to request an economic variance from the State, once they get everything up and running. More information will be coming in the next few months. I did some estimating in the numbers that I received on this plan. It was stated that the village will need to pay $147,000.00 a year towards the $4 Million, which breaks down to a cost of $12, 250.00 a month. There are 354 accounts in Elmwood to pay this amount and by dividing the monthly cost between the accts. billed, you would see about a $35.00 a month increase in you bill on top of your current bill.
The regular board meeting then began with Public Input. Lifelong resident Glen Nelson spoke to the board and attending citizens. He had a response to the statement made last month about “nothing happening, and nothing will” in Elmwood. He began by listing the names of each of the businesses and services within the village. He told everyone “We have an investment in this town, and we do not appreciate it” He went on, speaking about future plans with helping make Main St. “Pop” more. There are plans of having students assist in painting some properties on main, he added. Nelson made a subtle request for the village to put in funds to help this project, without any replies. He ended by thanking the members of the board for allowing him to speak. Julie Breeggmann then spoke to the board about the business she is opening, called Julie’s Gym. She then announced a plan of having a Breast Awareness walk from Elmwood to Menomonie, through Downsville, using the Red Cedar Trail. This event is planned for September 14-15, 2013.
Reorganization of the committees was next covered. The following is a list of committees and who is on each: (Licensing) Delorse Radtke, Rick Stohr, Trisha Knops. (Parks & Buildings) Susan Dzubay, Radtke, Mike Sand. (Personnel/Finance) Brian Buck, Dzubay, Stohr. (Police) Radtke, Buck, Knops. (Public Works) Sand, Stohr, Radtke. Appointments to the following committees were also completed: (Nursing Home) Knops (Library) Knops (Plan Commission) Radtke (President Pro Tem) Buck. Some changes may be necessary as Radtke is also on the Zoning Board of Appeals and a conflict of interest is present at this time.
The Financial Statement and Supplementary information for Review and Audit was then looked over by all members of the board and unanimously approved. Two Operator’s Licenses for Virginia Morgan and David Rhy were then approved for Cenex. The Open Book and Board of Reviews dates were then set up for June 4, 2013. The Open Book will be from 5-7 PM and the Board of Review will be from 7-9 PM.
After losing longtime Deputy Clerk Vicki Lehmann, the board approved the hiring of a fifty percent assistant for the village office. Angie Fisher, from Maiden Rock was one of about twenty applicants to apply. She was accepted for the position and will start work on May 14, 2013.
In Committee and Board reports: Trustee Trisha Knops provided the Library report. Joann Baier had spoke to the library board in regards to the funds that were donated by Clark Smith. A donation over $80K was received with restrictions on the use by and for the library. It was clarified that the funds could only be used for goods and services to the people coming to the library. These would be the physical goods that can be carried out for use. Absolutely no use for remodeling, wages/salaries or other reasons are allowed. Knops brought a single question to the board on behalf of the library. She requested minutes to clarify the fact of who is responsible for the maintenance of the library, when the village is the owner of the building. Due to the reduction the village made in the library budget, they are trying to get their priorities set, and they want to know clearly who is supposed to be responsible for this area of concern. The Clerk will need to research the minutes back when the library moved out of the auditorium building, to see if anything was put into documentation in regards to that request. Verbally, it was stated back in 2004 approximately, that the Library would be required to be self sufficient if they wanted to move to the old drug store location. No further action was taken. Knops then reported that circulation was up, and the summer programs would be starting June 2 through the end of July. She also noted the “Friends of the Library” donated $250 for more UFO products. Trustee Brian Buck provided some information from the Personnel/Finance and Police Committees. They have already completed the application process for the office assistant, and the position for an officer is still in progress. Nearly 50 applications have been received for the job opening. A review and possible changes in the Personnel Policy will be coming up as well, was reported.
The Nursing Home, Licensing, Parks and Buildings and Public Works had no reports to provide. The meeting then adjourned at 7:55 PM.

Chief Broehm says goodbye
Elmwood says “good-bye” to Chief Broehm
Submitted by Rick A. Talford
Citizen Journalist
ELMWOOD, WI – EPD Chief Matt Broehm gave his two week notice to the village clerk on April 10, 2013. He has been in Elmwood since March 2, 2009, when he was hired to take over in the village, after Chief Adam Meyers was terminated by the village board. Chief Broehm completed his training at Chippewa Valley Technical College in May 2007.
Only days after he graduated, he was hired on as a part-time officer for the Strum Police Department. He spent nine months with them, before he got a full month of full-time service in 2008. He stated “I learnt plenty in that month, as I spent most of my time observing.”
He then began some part-time employment in Blair, WI in August 2008. He also took a part-time job in November 2008 with Eleva Police Department. In December 2008, he began working with the Whitehall Police Department. He has continued part-time work with their department since. He spoke of a chance to be hired full-time with them sometime in late 2011, early 2012. They took another officer for the position. He has worked full-time with Elmwood over the years, and he received notice that Whitehall was ready to hire him as a full-time officer. He could not turn the opportunity down.
“Besides having a higher income to start, I will have more opportunities, like being a Firearms Instructor. They also have a larger department with multiple full-time and part-time officers” he added. In October 2012, Officer Broehm was promoted to Chief in Elmwood, after three and a half years of service to the village. He also took on some part-time work with the Durand Police Department this past summer, around the Fun Fest. He has worked with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department as a reserve officer during the Farm Technology Days and other events, for the last year and a half.
I asked Matt what he felt about being a one man department. “I feel the job could be performed much better, if there were at least two officers in the village.” I then asked him what he was going to miss about Elmwood; he replied “I will miss working with the people. That is the hardest part about leaving. I will return as often as I can, to visit the many friends and acquaintances that I have here.” After asking Broehm what was one of the worst parts of his job, he claimed “The barking and parking complaints, there is not really a lot you can do.”
Chief Broehm has done plenty of the work, getting the new truck for the EPD. He leaves the village before the truck is completely equipped and ready for service next month. His final day of service for the Village of Elmwood was April 24th, so there is very little time for everyone to wish him well in his future career at Whitehall. His plans for Whitehall include the opportunity to become Chief in a decade or so. He will be around Elmwood for a short time, before he moves closer to Whitehall.
Broehm has family in the Altoona and Fall Creek area. He graduated from Fall Creek High School in 2002. He will turn thirty this fall, and he has plans of getting involved with the Department of Justice, Criminal Investigations Division. He believes that he needs to continue working as often as he can, to get the experience he needs, in investigations for his future plans.
Good Luck Chief Broehm with your future career in Law Enforcement.

I asked Matt what he felt about being a one man department. “I feel the job could be performed much better, if there were at least two officers in the village.” I then asked him what he was going to miss about Elmwood; he replied “I will miss working with the people. That is the hardest part about leaving. I will return as often as I can, to visit the many friends and acquaintances that I have here.” After asking Broehm what was one of the worst parts of his job, he claimed “The barking and parking complaints, there is not really a lot you can do.”
Chief Broehm has done plenty of the work, getting the new truck for the EPD. He leaves the village before the truck is completely equipped and ready for service next month. His final day of service for the Village of Elmwood was April 24th, so there is very little time for everyone to wish him well in his future career at Whitehall. His plans for Whitehall include the opportunity to become Chief in a decade or so. He will be around Elmwood for a short time, before he moves closer to Whitehall.
Broehm has family in the Altoona and Fall Creek area. He graduated from Fall Creek High School in 2002. He will turn thirty this fall, and he has plans of getting involved with the Department of Justice, Criminal Investigations Division. He believes that he needs to continue working as often as he can, to get the experience he needs, in investigations for his future plans.
Good Luck Chief Broehm with your future career in Law Enforcement.

On lap 79, Travis Pastrana (60) got a second stripe after hitting the wall twice. He took his car to pit road as he had repairs needed.
On lap 91, Brian Vickers (20) had a bad vibration, so he hit pit road for new tires.
Green flag stops began at lap 109.
On lap 120, the caution flew for Kyle Fowler (79), who hit the wall after a tire failed. Alex Bowman (99) made a good move to keep from getting wrecked as he was tagged by Fowler.

“BOJANGLES 500”
DARLINGTON, SOUTH CAROLINA- “The Track Too Tough to Tame” was the site of the Southern 500. The Pole Sitter for the race is Kurt Busch (78), with a Track Record Speed of 181.918 mph. Jimmie Johnson (48) started second. Danica Patrick (10) started at the rear in her backup car, after crashing her primary car in practice. The penalties against the JGR team received many reductions through the appeal process. The crew chief will only be suspended for one race instead of six. Kenseth (20) received 38 of the 50 points taken back, moving him from 11th to 4th in the standings. Jimmie Johnson (48) ran an emerald green car for this race. Brad Keselowski (2) and Joey Lagono (22) are racing the next two without their crew chiefs after penalties were imposed. Jeff Gordon (24) & Bobby Labonte (47) will run their 700th race, making another milestone in their careers. The race was scheduled for 501 miles, with 367 laps.
In Opening Ceremonies, Captain John Denny provided the Invocation. The “National Anthem” was sung by Waylon Owings. The Grand Marshal’s for the race are the Mom’s of the Drivers in the race. The In-Race reporter was Denny Hamlin (11).
Green flag stops began around lap 46. Kurt Busch (78) had a two second lead when the stops began. On lap 56, Kenseth (20) made his stop as the last of the lead lap cars to stop. Another round of green flag stops began near lap 100. The final stop for the lead lap cars was near lap 104. Only 17 cars remained on the lead lap at this point in the race.
The first caution was on lap 124, for debris. No debris was shown to the viewers.
More green flag pit stops were completed around lap 240. Clint Bowyer (15) was penalized for taking equipment from the pit box, as the gas can stayed connected when he pulled away.

On lap 313, the third caution flew when Casey Mears (13) and Kurt Busch got together enough, that Mears got into the wall. Brad Keselowski (2) was also involved, as he ran into the back of Mears car. Keselowski had a tough night, once being down two laps due to a loose tire on a pit stop.
On lap 347, Kyle Busch (18) got into the back end of Kasey Kahne (5) for a third time this season, causing him to spin out, and the fourth caution of the race flew. Kahne was not happy with the fact that Busch cost him another race that he was strong in.
Busch led 265 of the 367 laps, but fell short of winning the race, as teammates Matt Kenseth (20) won the race, and Denny Hamlin (11) was second, in his first full race back from his injury. Busch would leave the track again, without talking to any media. This is a common theme for Busch when he fails to finish a race well.

Talladega Weekend
“Aaron’s 312”
TALLADEGA, ALABAMA- The Nationwide Series has returned to the fast track at Talladega for their ninth race of the season. The track is 2.66 miles in length and speeds have been near 200 mph. Travis Pastrana (60) received the Pole position. This is his first pole in 17 starts. Austin Dillon (3) will start second. Danica Patrick (34) will start fourth in the race, as she has done well in the restrictor plate races. The race was held up due to rain. The race was over 3 hours late starting. The race was scheduled for 117 laps, and a “Competition Caution” was scheduled due to the rain washed track on lap 20.
In the opening ceremonies: No ceremonies were held before the race for some reason. Nothing was stated. The Grand Marshalls for the race were “Four Wounded Warrior Project Members.” Kasey Kahne (5), Kurt Busch (1), Danica Patrick (34), Joey Lagono (22), all are double duty drivers this weekend. Lagono was the In-Race Reporter.
In related news: More fines and suspensions happened this week in NASCAR. Two crew members from the Brian Scott (2) team were suspended for the next four races, and put on probation until December 31, 2013 for incidents off track. They both were fined $15K as well. These penalties were for violating NASCAR Rule 12-1 “Actions detrimental to racing” The crew chiefs for the Nelson Piquet Jr. (30) and Brian Scott (2) teams were also placed under probation until June 26, 2013 for the actions of the drivers while on track. The drivers Piquet Jr. and Scott are both on probation until June 26, 2013 also for their on track incidents. Apparently NASCAR did not feel there was any cause for punishment, for Piquet Jr. kicking Scott between the legs after the race though. This was a disgusting and unethical move by a racer and NASCAR has done nothing about that fact.
On lap 14, Austin Dillon’s (3) car began losing power and he fell way behind the pack. At the same time, Danica Patrick (34) was spun out of 7th place by Kyle Larsen (32). He clipped her car and ran her into the wall. Dillon fell one lap down changing spark plugs and wires. They did find a broken plug. This was the first caution of the race.
On lap 36, the second caution came out for Kyle Larsen, who had a tire blow out as he spun down and off the track. During his spin, Jeffrey Earnhardt (79) was spun out as well. Larsen took his car to the garage, where Patrick had already parked her damaged race car.
At the half way mark, Pastrana (60) and Bayne (6) were together and Kahne (5) and Lagono (22) were together, and well out front of the rest of the field.
On lap 67, Elliott Sadler (11) began having engine issues. He stated that he had engine oil coming inside the car. By lap 70, there had already been 32 lead changes.
On lap 71, the third caution flew for Brian Scott (2) clipping Reed Sorenson (43), and that sent Sorenson into the wall, just as Patrick’s car did. Pastrana tried to get around the spinning car of Sorenson, but was not able to keep from slamming into the side of his race car.
On lap 87, caution four came out for Blake Koch (00), who was sent into the outside wall by Justin Allgaier (31). Austin Dillon finally got his lap back.
On lap 90, the big one happened after Sam Hornish Jr. (12) clipped the back of Johanna Long (70), then tagged Eric McClure (14) starting the chain reaction. Trevor Bayne (6), Brian Scott (2), Robert Richardson (23), Andrew (92), Ty Dillon (33), Nelson Piquet Jr. (30), Bobby Gerhardt (85) and Mike Harmon (74) were all caught up in the wreck.
Due to darkness and possible rain, NASCAR took off ten laps of the race. They restarted the race to 8 laps left.
On lap 104, Justin Allgaier (31) spun out Joey Coulter (54). Coulters car was done for the race, but Allgaier continued on.
A Green-White-Checkered finish ended the race after NASCAR decided to give one shot at it. On the final lap coming to the flag, another multi-car wreck happened and it collected Mike Bliss (19), Alex Bowman (99), Elliott Sadler (11), Brian Vickers (20), Landon Cassill(4), Jamie Dick (55), josh Wise (40) and Justin Allgaier (31).
After NASCAR needed a photo finish look at the leaders as the caution flag came out, Regan Smith (7) was announced the winner by .009 seconds over teammate Kasey Kahne (5), both cars owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Motorsports.
The rest of the top ten were: Joey Lagono (22), Kurt Busch (1), Justin Allgaier (31), Parker Kligerman (77), Mike Wallace (01), Jason White (24), Jeremy Clements (51) and Austin Dillon (3).
The point’s leader after this race is now Regan Smith by 27 points. He went from seventh to first in the last half lap of the race.
The next race will be at Darlington on Friday Night, at 7 pm EST on ESPN2.

Martin Truex Jr. (56) will start second. Denny Hamlin returns to the track this weekend after the DR.’s released him to race. Another driver returning to the driver’s seat is Michael Waltrip in the 55 Aaron’s race car. There was a chance of rain during the race, so the 188 scheduled laps on the large 2.66 mile track.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the “Lucky Dog” and was put back on the lead lap after falling down a lap early.

On lap 123, the caution flew for rain. By lap 125, they threw the red flag. Carl Edwards (99) had just passed Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (17) for the lead as the caution flag was thrown. There were 25 cars left on the lead lap when the race was stopped for the rain. The area had heavy rain, lightning and hail that only lasted a few minutes, but soaked that track down plenty.
After a four hour rain delay, NASCAR threw the yellow flag again. The field would have less that 60 laps left when the green flag was shown. All but six cars made pit stops before going back to racing.
On lap 144, Joey Lagono (22) pulled down and off track, believing his engine was beginning to fail. For the second day in a row, NASCAR is fighting the clock and darkness to finish the race in time.
On lap 168, cars began making their final stops. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Martin Truex Jr. both were penalized for speeding on pit road during their stops.
