The Nascar Thread

Another blown tire with 3 to go in the 1st stage. Not sure if Burton got new tires or not in the first caution if he did then It doesn't look good for a lot of drivers. They only have 5 sets and many will be on their 3rd at the start of the 2nd stage. The 2nd is also 75 laps while the 3rd is 100. This means quite a few will be trying to finish on heavily worn tires.
Keep in mind, 3 drivers did go the distance in the first stage, so they already have a big advantage over the others.
