 It's the first week of the chase and the Cup Series heads to New Hampshire to kick off the 5 week playoff. Zach Micheal edged Darrell Pace by 0.003 for the pole position in qualifying. Zach lead the field to green but Dave Daniels was on the bumper of the 14 early and took the lead. Chase contender John Griggs spun on lap 7 and his hopes of winning were plagued early by an ill-handling racecar. Daniels and Michael continued to go back and forth for the lead with part timer Tony Pizzaro running close behind in 3rd. Pit strategy was key throughout the race with some driver not pitting under yellow while other took 4 tires. Michael even took 2 tires on a stop and was leading when Dave Daniels got loose and his car went away. Daniels later retired following a crash with the 71 of Mike Tellier. That setup an almost 70 lap run to the finish. With Daniels out, the race was left to be settled between Michael and Pizzaro. Pizzaro remained in tow right behind the #14 when, with just under 15 laps to go, Pizzaro lost connection with the server and lost 2 laps. Michael was able to cruise to his 3rd win of the season and early momentum in the 1st Chase for the Old Spice Cup! Teammate Rob Scarberry came home 2nd for a Mountain Dew 1-2.
Standings (After 1 of 5 races): 1st; Michael(Leader), 2nd; Scarberry(-12), 3rd; Daniels(-14), 4th; Davis(-15), 5th; Griggs(-23)
Congrats to Zach on his win and thanks to everyone for a good clean race. See you all next week for Truck and Cup at Talladega! |
