...and the Pace car hits the sand barrels at the entrance to pit road while returning to the pits prior to the start of Stage 2 of the race.

Really?

I was wonderin' if the Pace Camry has to start at the back of the pack on the next restart for that

Thank you much OC for putting on the game this year. It was fun. Thank you much to the other players for playing this year, as well.

Looks like Hamlin will get a new sponsor next year. Fedex not coming back.
