this is one of the bigger races of the year so many of the cars pick up special sponsors and paint the cars up different so that they look neater under the lights, also gives them more chances to sell collector editions

fo rsure it is a big lead right now, with this race being so long you need to take care of the car and only go as fast as you have to for the first 4 or 5 hundred miles

since this race is mostly run after dark they may have the cars set up for that, and not running so good in the sunlight, or they might just be slow today..lol

Hrmm dunno....

Two of my drivers have dropped back a bit but nothing to worry about yet.

The driver who i fancied to win it looks to have moved up nicely and is in the top 10.

martin took on tires and is back out, not sure what the pit window is there, might just be the first of a round of pit stops

not yet, it's a long race and while they need tostay in contention they also need to stay on the track and finish, no need to race hard now sadler has taken the lead....quite a few of the backmarkers are starting pit stops

I guess it doesn't happen that often though.

It's better without the Yellow constantly at least you get some real racing instead of the stop/start.
