What was with all the (10 IIRR) people that had their qualification time dismissed and then had to start from the rear?
Can't find out why they were disqualified.

And Jimmy will have a new crew chief.
Maybe we'll see the old Jimmy back again.

Johnson’s only road-course victory came at Sonoma in 2010 when leader Marcos Ambrose stalled under caution and gave away the race.

to say he dominated today's race would be a pretty big understatement because Chase won all 3 stages as he lead 80 of the 90 laps .... it was good to see younger drivers like William Byron and Bubba Wallace use their fenders to get Kyle's attention .... sure hope doing so will become a strong trend .... don't think anyone can be surprised that Kyle huffed up and refused post race interviews

You said it all. Go Chase!!

It should be good, they haven't repaved the track in a long time. Seems like every time they do, it takes 5 to 7 years to "break in" it in again.
It still is boring for a while, but after they wear tires in a little, is when it gets "interesting".
