Matt DiBenedetto went wire to wire, leading every lap on his way to the
first win for X-Team Racing. It's the second time a driver has lead all
the laps in a race this season. (Brett Moffitt, Greenville-Pickens Speedway)

This race looked like a total fail fest.

How cool was it to see 3400 stock cars on a 1/4 mile short track around
a football field?

This was the first full-bodied stock car race held at Bowman-Gray
Stadium since the East Series ran there in 1972 with Max Berrier picking
up his 2nd win in 5 starts that season.

Cup ran there from 1958 to 1971, with Bobby Allison winning the last Cup
race held there. Rex White had a Cup track-record 6 wins there, with
Glen Wood, Junior Johnson and Richard Petty tied for 2nd with 4 each.

Matt DiBenedetto added his name to the likes of White, Wood, Junior
Johnson, Richard and Lee Petty and David Pearson as winners at
Bowman-Gray with his 3rd career East Series win, first since 2009
driving for JGR.

Corey LaJoie ties his best career East Series finish in 2nd, his 2nd
podium finish of the season to accompany 3 finishes of 20th or worse.

Ben Kennedy gets his first career top 5 in 3rd in his 6th career start,
5 of them this season.

Max Gresham got his 4th consecutive finish of 4th or better.

DJ Shaw gets just his 2nd career top 5 (1st in 2011) in 17 career
starts, tying his best career finish in 5th.

Darrell Wallace Jr., ironically enough in the #6 Revolution Racing car,
gets his 4th finish of 6th in 5 races this season. The only exception
was his win in Richmond. However, he's now leading the points standings
by 17 over DiBenedetto (old point system).

16 year old Chad Finchum finishes 7th in just his 2nd career East Series
start.

Cody Hodgson (not to be confused with the Vancouver Canucks centerman)
gets his 3rd top 10 in 5 starts this season and 2nd straight 8th place
finish (career best).

Chad Boat gets his best career finish and first top 10 in 9th in his 6th
series start.

Ryan Gifford gets his first career stand-alone top 10 finish in 10th (9
top 5's in 19 series starts).

Coleman Pressley got his 1st career East Series pole, but an oil leak
resulted in a DNF and 22nd place finish.

Robert Johnson, Junior's son, makes his NASCAR debut. He started third
but fell out two third of the way through.

Just watched this race on Speed, man what a wreckfest. Stands were
packed though, it would have been cool to be there for that race.
