We were guests of The Home Depot for Saturday's race at Richmond International Raceway. We cheered on Tony Stewart who had a strong 4th finish. The garage and pit road tour were definitely great additions this year. And, although there was a slight rain threat, no drops fell.
The hometown favorite, Denny Hamlin, also a Joe Gibbs driver, was on the poll and led 381 of 400 laps, but it was not to be. On lap 382, his tire developed a leak that resulted in a 24th place finish, three laps down. It was a very exciting finish as Dale Earnhardt Jr and Kyle Busch duked it out with some exciting side-by-side racing. There will be some debate this week about whether Kyle got loose underneath or if Dale Jr slipped down a bit, which resulted in Dale Jr wrecking in turn 4. Being in the right place at the right time, Clint Bowyer secured his first win of the season and the second win of his career.
