Race #2 of 15 - FedEx 400 Results

This race looked to be going the same way that Daytona did. Good clean racing with a few different drivers emerging as contenders. But then, lap 364 happened. Ricky Anderson Jr. and Helen Wheels collided triggering what turned into a massive pileup. 15 different drivers were knocked out of the race due to the accident.

Comrade Path was the first driver to look to be on his way to victory. He took the pole and led the race's first 92 laps before pit stops shuffled him back and he wound up 10th. From there Blue Neckansack took the lead and led for 82 laps before relinquishing the lead to Wheely McStephens who would lead for 78 laps. Luke Duke was next up as he led for 91 laps. But with 35 laps remaining, Al Collalik, who finished 2nd at Daytona, made the pass on Duke and never looked back. He took the checkered flag by 3.05 seconds over Blue Neckansack. Luke Duke was 3rd followed by McStephens and Rob Nielsen. Nielsen as you will see in the highlights somehow miraculously drove right through that massive pileup on lap 364 and suffered no damage.
