Cup Series: A Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine - 2 May 2013

With just two races to go before the chase, every driver is trying to secure as spot as one of the 5 drivers to fight for the championship. Zach Michael won the pole with an average speed of 199.095MPH around the 1.5 mile oval. Teammate Rob Scarbery started 2nd and was able to pass Zach for the lead on the first lap. After a few early cautions the pack finally got spread out but Zach had company for 1st with Dave Daniels and Adam Simons both trying to take over the lead. Daniels was able to get the lead and just when he started to gap Zach and Adam, David Culpepper blew a tire and went right into Daniels with Zach narrowly avoiding a spinning Daniels, who later blew an engine. After halfway the race started to get more spread out with a long run going. Steven Davis stayed in two with Zach but fell back on the long run. A caution came out after Culpepper spun, allowing those short on fuel to guarantee they'll make it to the end. On the restart Zach continued to lead but Rob Scarberry and Steven Davis were in tow. Davis fell off once again and dropped back but Scarberry had come out of the weeds and was fighting for the lead. After navigating lap traffic Rob closed within 2 tenths of a second but Zach was able to hold on for the win.

Congrats to Zach on his win and see you all Monday for Trucks at South Boston and Wednesday for the final race before the chase at Richmond!! Thanks to all who raced tonight!
