    There wasn't nothing else to see. His car couldn't stick the bottom, and he got beat. When the track gets like that, it's basically like racing in the rubber. Clanton said it was like powder outside of the bottom grove. The only reason Overton was able to hang with Erb and Oneal running out there, was because he could carry more momentum down the straights beacuse they wasn't as crumby.

      Terry,

      Overton gave the lead away by failing to do well, what the guys behind him were doing. That is, hold the bottom. No way he was going to win. The margin for error in that upper groove was zero. No one could steer the middle out there.

        Looks like they're going to get plenty of moisture today via Mother Nature

              I like overton. His lap times were going to be all over the place up there. It wasn't happening. Erbs last lap was within thousandths of that Overton lap. He was just doing as little as possible rolling the bottom.

                Only thing I disagree with is that only someone like Overton would try the top side. I can name several drivers who have done the exact same thing Overton tried last night. He is certainly a good driver but his car couldn't hold the bottom even though it was probably the best car out there.

                He really had no choice if he wanted to win. I also believe he is not running for the points, so it only made sense to give the outside a shot. IMO at this present time, Overton and even Sheppard could care less rather they run 3rd or 10th etc if they are not going to win.

                  I see there were double the amount of DNFs compared to the first race at E BAY . Was the track rougher last night ?

                    It was a little rougher. More dnf mostly due to more laps and more crashing because it was so slick.

                        Doesn't it seem like the top groove at EB has really flattened out and missing that banking 'edge' that used to produce a great outside groove?

                          I was thinking the same thing as I watched the race last night.
