McLeod in the #99. Apparently he's a really good road course ringer in the Michelin Pilot Challenge. 3.

Now that I realize it, that 5 team has really been improving as opposed to the start of the season and it's building a lot of momentum for B.J McLeod Motorsports, which actually built a brand new headquarters at the start of this season. 4. 1995z71 posted: 08.06.2019 - 2:22 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) So glad to see Regan Smith back! 5.

Sure the equipment isn't elite but the guy is a stud on road courses and could probably get more out of that car than most. 34. rm posted: 08.09.2019 - 1:09 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Brandonbilt is generally 15th-20th place equipment with Brown, so I don't see why Will can't elevate it and run top 10. Andy Lally could take worse SS-Greenlight and DGM cars to the top five, so I don't think it's too far to say Will's got a shot here. 35.

Justin Allgaier spins out of fourth place through the keyhole and teammate Noah Gragson also goes around. Allgaier missed major damage but Gragson got piled into by several other drivers, including Scott Heckert, Aaron Quine, Brandon Jones, David Starr and Stephen Leicht. Meanwhile, further ahead, Hawksworth made a move by Bell for the lead before the yellow came out! 58.

Notes: *Nice win for Cindric, his road course skills were never in question; Interested to see how he improves on ovals as he gains experience *Gragson w/ a nice 5th place finish, in a damaged car to add; Not sure how to feel about his prospects ceiling-wise, but he's definitely improved as the year has progressed & is on a nice little run right now - plesently impressed *Nice showings from the trio of Allmendinger, Rodgers, & Hawksworth. Rodgers wasn't flashy per se, but 12th is a respectable finish; Hawksworth, OTOH, was near the front all day but ended w/ a 15th place finish after some sliding @ the end - Still, a nice debut for him, wonder if he'll run more NASCAR in the furture (Also, it seemed like he led more than x5 laps to me, but I digress) *A shoutout to Jeremy Clements, a home-state rep. w/ a solid 11th; also a h/t to the other ringers that didn't quite finish up the running order; Gallagher w/ a not too bad 23rd, & then Aschenbach, Heckert, Quine, & Dyson, unfortunate the latter drivers were involved in accidents. *Lastly, disappointed in Regan Smith's showing. Ran 15th/18th practically the whole race; is there a reason I missed, or just an off day for the team? - Overall enjoyed the race, though the ending was a little boring; still, they can't all end like 2012 Watkins Glen w/ Ambrose & Keselowski - That's one of my favorite finishes to a race ever :) 99.
