this is usually a wreck fest so only seeing 3 cautions is surprising

only having 21 drivers and most of them being decently talented helps also

"Rico Abreu kinda sucks"

Keep in mind this is his first year racing stock cars. His first stock
car start of any kind was a late model race in February. Heck, the guy
who won this race, Scott Heckert, looked pretty bad his first year and a
half and now has turned into a decent prospect. I wouldn't expect too
much from Abreu until the second half of the season and going into next
year. also, don't forget that most of the other drivers in the series
this year have years of stock car experience to fall back on. Except
Dalton Sargeant, who appears to be a beast of epic proportions in the
making. Spent his entire career karting over in europe and now has
adapted to stock cars almost immediately.

Still in shock that Sargeant, a kid with YEARS of road racing experience
got NO offers from any Mazda Road to Indy programs due to not having a
rich family/connections. Another driver that will be IndyCar's loss and
Nascars gain.

Analysts painted Rico Abreu as the second coming of Dale Earnhardt after
his win at the Chili Bowl, so that's why I'm a little surprised he's
been wholly uncompetitive driving for Mike Curb, who fields very
competitive cars in the lower series. I didn't know this was his first
taste of stock cars, so I will cut him a little slack, but the hype
people have put around him, he should be yielding better results.

I think a lot of the hype around him really centers around his height
though... People love a story about "overcoming adversity," but I don't
really care if you're 4'4" or 7'4" it's all about results.

He is being overhyped. I think he'll be good but even I agree he's being
hyped a little too much. Hype never helps a young driver (see Logano).
He just needs a little time to mature behind the wheel.

"I think a lot of the hype around him really centers around his height

Agree again. Funny thing is I actually didn't know he was a "little
person" until I saw an interview with him and I'd heard his name a lot
from winning a ton of sprint car races out west in the previous couple
years.

Points leader William Byron and second place Austin Hill spun together
after contact but both managed to maintain their maintain their
positions atop the standings.

Hometown hero and Bowman Gray street stock winner John Holleman IV got
spun while being lapped by the leaders.

To date this remains the only K&N East start for Mason Mitchell. He was
the reigning ARCA champion at the time of this race but his only driven
sporadically since he won that title.
