Im watching RaceDay on Speed Channel, wearing my Team GoDaddy crew jersey, drinking a Coke Zero waiting for the race at 2:00 in Dover. What a great day!

A different race, a caution during the first round of green flag stops left only 6 cars on the lead lap and trapped many 2 laps down including Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth, because you can easily lose two laps making a green flag stop.
