This race belonged to Tyberian and the # 41 car.

Ya...Ty found a formula and a track that serve him well. Avoiding the pitfalls of a few early cautions, Ty...who took the pole with a whopping 37.666....ran the pits to perfection...re-taking the lead around lap 70 and never giving it up!! 

"(My car) was dominant all night," ....that's what I heard him say to Buster....lol...ya...I heard it... "We knew we had a good car in practice," Sorenson said. "I don't know if we thought it was going to be that good."

He survived the race's sixth and final caution with a strong restart to distance himself from Buster in the # 16 car and Big Mike in the #21B car,  who eventually finished third.

Bustersnm....in the #16 car...surprised everyone..starting 8th and finishing SECOND !!! WHOA !!!! Buster did not take a lead during the entire race...but fought his way from the back of the pack with great pitting strategy!! Great Job Buster !

Big Mike Racing also had a very successful race in the #21B car. Mike was also at or near the top of the pack through the race and other than a bit of car trouble that required a late pit...did wonderfully. Yea Mike !!!

There were 19 lead changes with 6 of the 8 races enjoying the lead for at least 1 lap and 5 bonus points. The race saw three cautions through the first 40 laps before finishing with six. The race finished clean over the last 30 laps.

NOW....over on track B.... A similar story on the "master" car.

TBDesigns started and finished the race ahead of the pack to take home 1600 gamerpoints !! At one point, TB was down 3 laps and was able to comeback...just like in preseason...to take Track B.

Congrats TB !!! Ijeremy finished right behind TB, followed by Vexing and Polinino.

This race also included a driver trying to clear his probation. I'm happy to announce that Ratty cleared probation and will be awarded the 5 points that were pending his performance. Ratty did pretty good considering he had trouble early with his car...for the most part..Ratty stayed out of the way...and fought through the entire race to the very end. Great Job Ratty...you did good.

A total of 15 Nuffers took part in a GREAT night of racing !!!! The Auto Club 500 took 1 hour and 20 Minutes on track A and just over 2 hours on track B (due to a few restarts).
