Gaines' long-time crew chief, Clyde West, was unable to make the trip as he was hospitalized earlier this week for an internal problem. The crew has been performing well regardless, and according to them it's crew chief by committee.

Stanfield is making his 125th start and holds a big 7-1 advantage when racing Gaines. V is making his 149th start, and he's qualified in the 9th spot more often than any other (17 times).

In one of the stranger pairs I've ever seen, both cars broke right off the line. Gaines was coasting faster and takes the win.

On the top end, Gaines is thanking Tom Martino for flying in to assist the team.
