What was a bit of a snoozer to begin with at Chicagoland Speedway Saturday night ended in a fashion that was anything but.
In a three-lap sequence of events starting on lap 250 of the 267 lap race, the race lead switched three times between the guy who had dominated the second half of the race, a guy looking for his first win since 2006 and the guy who dominated the first half of the event.
And that’s not even the beginning of how crazy the pack was just behind them, all thanks to NASCAR’s recently-implemented double-file restart rules.
