Decent race here, we had a few yellows at the start of the race which was annoying but all green flag racing for maybe the last 19 laps or so. I started 7th and worked my way up... I pit twice during this race because tires fall off really quickly here, I usually just followed the AI when they pit to keep it even.
Tony Stewart and Bobby Labonte were both leading at one point, but not sure what happened to their cars as they went to pit and ended up a lap down. I felt I would win this one easily until I seen Bobby Hamilton closing on me with about 10 to go, we made green flag pit stops at that time and when I came out he was just ahead of me. I passed him at one time but he was just too quick for me. I had him coming out of the hard turns but he was much quicker in the esses.
I think next time ill have to crank up the AI a bit more, besides Bobby everyone else was a bit behind. With a 2nd place finish I made a little bit more room in the standings over P2.
Next Race will be at Daytona I will be increasing the length of that race as well to around 55 laps instead of 40.
