Race Weekend 7/4/14-7/6/14

Starting from 12th on the grid today, and looking forward to another awesome run!!! We won the last race we ran here, and hopefully the #23 Coca-Cola will be in victory lane again at the end of the night. It's gonna be really fast, but nice and easy on tires, so hopefully we can get into a good sequence early and stay strong toward the end.

Green Flag: #23 starts from 12th

#23 takes the lead

Radio Communication
Matthew: We're fast in clean air, but really shaky in traffic.
Ray: Guess that means you need to stay out front.

First round of green flag pit stops begins

Radio Communication
Ray: Hold your own as long as you can out there.
Matthew: Can't make it more than a few laps.

#23 runs 6th after pitting

Radio Communication
Ray: There are some guys on more conservative fuel strategies, buddy, you need to get back to the lead by half-way to make it easy on yourself.
Matthew: I'll do what I can.

Half-Way: #23 runs 4th

Radio Communication
Ray: Well, buddy, this race just got a lot harder.
Matthew: We can do it.

Caution: 9 car wreck on the front stretch, #23 spinning across the infield

#23 back into the top 10

#23 takes the lead

Red Flag: #8 through the catch fence in turn 3

Radio Communication
Matthew: How are we looking on fuel for this restart.
Ray: We can make it to the end, but we might not have enough if it goes green-white-checkered.

Green Flag: #23 restarts 1st

Radio Communication
Ray: We have maybe an extra mile worth of fuel, try to back her down a bit and save.
Matthew: I'll try.
