San Jose Part 1 - Sunday Racing before Monday Comes

It was a Sunday and It was Rachael Kirkconnell's first Cup Series Race she is starting 39th alongside San Jose Driver who races for Santa Teresa High's Autoduel Club Savannah Bauer as For Me I'm starting 4th behind Chase Elliott who is in the pole.

Before the Race, I Talked to Rachael in which she is getting ready to have her first talk

Jay: Uh, Rachael I think we are having your first start is that right?

Rachael: Apparently this maybe it so I'm having my first start driving the #30 Rhythm Radio Chevrolet

Jay: Okay, But We Think we got 2 More Cars to work with for Monday Night Freestyle are you going to do it.

Rachael: Apparently Yes, We will have a 46 Car Field and after this race will switch to a 40 Car Field

Jay: However Officials Have Been Approving the Rules as Is.

However the Green Flag went off as Chase Elliott is leading the Field to the Start of the Race however Dale Earnhardt Jr. now took the lead on Lap 77 however there were no cautions so far and Ricky Rudd is leading on Lap #135 while I'm in 4th place.

However Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the lead on Lap #164 then the only Caution occured involving 5 Cars including Brad Keselowski and Benny Parsons who are done for the day.

The Restart occured on Lap 168, Rusty Wallace was in the lead but in the end Martin Truex Jr. took over and led the final 60 laps to win at San Jose, CA so I Finished 31st and Rachael finished 29th on her first race.
