Xfinity Series, Iowa Speedway -- July 27, 2019

30 laps to go. Tooling around under yellow while debris is being swept up. Looks like maybe only 25 laps to go when they re-start..

Leading: Christopher Bell (20). Then Joe Nemechek (23); Sieg (39); Briscoe (98); and, Gragson (9).

Re-start coming up at lap 25 to go or thereabouts.

************

Laps ticking down under caution.

28 to go; still tooling around in yellow

Now cars pulling into pit road.

#90 just hit a sweeper truck on pit road -- Dillon Bassett (was in the 19th position) - he will never live this down. Wow. He lost vision due to all the dust. I guess he didn't know there were two sweeper trucks there. He missed the first one; second one obscured by dust.

So, the ambulance shows up for a low-speed accident.

This will extend the caution. Now, lap 26 to go and still caution.

Cars will be okay on fuel, but some went down pit road to get new tires. But now, coming back on track need to drive back up to get back to where they were with the re-start.

*************************

Restart with 22 to go.

Good re-start.

Nemechek loses a little.

20 - 98 -- 23

Bell -- Briscoe -- Nemecheck

Tight, tight, tight; great race.

Bell -- Briscoe -- Nemechek with 17 to go.

Bell pulling away but next three are closing in.

Lots of contact.

Not driving like rookies.

Fans getting their money's worth.

Briscoe right on Bell's tail. Photo finish, contact, crash?

********************

Five to go.
