Here we are in beautiful Alabama for the first running of the Aaron's 125. Can JR Motorsports get their 6th of 7 wins? Will a small team (David) beat the bigger teams (Goliath)? Here's how it went down. 55 cars ENTERED. That means 15 of them went home. Those 15 were Derrike Cope, Mike Harmon, Jeff Green, Harrison Rhodes, Josh Wise, Jason White, Stanton Barrett, Matt DiBenedetto, Jamie Dick, Carl Long, Donnie Neuenberger, Bobby Gerhart, JJ Yeley, and Scott Lagasse Jr. So that left 40 machines to race. Matt Kenseth grabbed his second pole of this season, with Regan Smith occupying the other half of the front row. 6 drivers made their debut for this season: Jamie McMurray, Jeb Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Austin Dillon, Danica Patrick, and Willie Allen. On the first lap, Regan Smith powered from the topside to grab the early lead. He'd only lead that 1 lap, though. Matt Kenseth, the polesitter, took the lead from him. That led to 3-wide going into Turn 3 on Lap 3. That wasn't good, as John Wes Townley made contact with Dylan Kwasniewski. They went into the wall and collected a few others. The people that retired from the event were Kwasniewski, Chase Elliott, Regan Smith, Elliott Sadler, Townley, Ryan Sieg, James Buescher, Willie Allen, Robert Richardson Jr., and Ryan Blaney. After the caution, the field split into two groups: The first was 14 cars and the second was 14 cars. Brad Keselowski took an unexpected pit stop and Jeremy Clements lost the pace. There was a lot of trading of the lead going on, but Matt Kenseth led the most with 19 circuits led. It got down to the final front stretch to the finish. Trevor Bayne, in the #6 Advocare Mustang, was leading. A train down on the bottom led by Jeb Burton got past him. In Jeb's first race this season, and first race with JR Motorsports, he took the checkered! That makes JR Motorsports have 6 wins in 7 races.
