Newman qualified 6th (16.443)
Tony got 13th. (16.757)
Austin Dillon set fast time (16.307 seconds).

I read that DW doesn't like the 2 seater ride with Tony.

Heat-1 Finish: Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon, Tony Stewart, Tony Kanaan, Steve Kinser, David Gilliland, Danica Patrick

tony & Ty made the end of the end of their heat race interesting passing each other back for a couple laps after Danica wrecked.
Ryan finsihed 2nd behind Bowyer in his heat race.
Blaney has passed more cars than anyone so far. they let him hot lap in the 3rd heat race since he just got to the track, & then started last in the 4th heat race, & moved all the way to 2nd before blowing a tire & getting in the fence.
Kurt busch lost it in his heat race & crashed damaging Yeleys car some.

Austin, Bowyer, Kyle, & Kahne were the heat race winners.

Feature Event:
Newman starts 6th & Stewart starts 9th. Danica Patrick starts 25th. Kasey Kahne gets P1 & Kyle Busch is P2

I've got a few web places pulled up & still don't get it all. But at least I get something.

Thanks Schmoopy for your info too.

Danica has joked she has gotten her Darlington Stripe & now has her Eldora stripe LOL

Kurt Busch's car is too Damaged from the heat race wreck, so his night is done. He wont be in the main Event.

Evernham hooks Kinser & causes a big wreck at beginning of main event. Red flag came out. (most cars just spun though) Kinsers car is crumpled up pretty good. Bobby Labonte with some damage as well. Not sure if he will get back out either.

next restart, Leffler loops it & takes out Schrader.

one lap into next restart, Leffler wrecks with Ty. Yeley looks to get knocked out of race.

Lap 13 Bowyer passes Kahne for lead

Boyer gonna get a win?
Where's Tony running, you know?

lap 22 Kahne does slide job on Bowyer for lead but accidentially put Bowyer into wall. Next corner Kyle trys slidejob on Bowyer & also gets bowyer into wall, Bowyer now pulled off track. To bad Bowyer looked to have best car.

couple laps latr Labonte spins & was sitting duck in corner & Kahne creams into him. A vicious hit completely tears apart Kahnes car. Everyone looks to be ok.

best two cars now out of race. Another red flag.

ouch

Hopefully no upside down cars like a few years ago when Bill Elliot turned over heading into turn 1. I was there for that one. At least he was ok. He got up on top of his car as if to say to it you didn't get the best of me.

tony restarts 4th & ryan 6th lap 25
