We were in 9th but had to make an unscheduled stop for the skull shifter falling off and rolling around in the car.
Car is having a weird fuel cut type issue - Dan noticed it only in 1 turn and it got a bit worse for Neil. It was doing it my entire 2 hour stint and is doing it for Ben now. At 5pm we break for an hour and we are going to change a cooling fan, change the oil, rewire the fuel pump and try and clean the tank screen to see if that helps. Seems electrical but who knows - still going round and round just a bit slower than before. Alan is up after the break. Car is running great minus this problem.
(we tried the easy dme relay fix, but no luck)
Good news- We are ahead of Tony Stewarts team.

My Dragon day disaster:
Flight in: 2 hour delay to Norfolk
Leave for VIR: 11:30am~Arrive @ VIR: 3:30
~go to call Dan and find out where they are. Realize phone & laptop are with my luggage (with the wife to the house).
~figure I'll slack around, take some pics and bump in to someone, only to then realize I have no idea what anyone looks like.
~walk around a bit, snap some pics ask a couple teams where the dragon team is. They point to the back of the pits....cool.
~go to my truck to get my drink and the sway bars.
~security guy is giving some teens (maybe college kids) hanging out between my truck and their car an earful.
~I get my stuff out and he tells me/them we have to leave (thinks I am with them or they with me). Evidentally they were burning a doob or bowl or something.
~Deputy arrives.
~I leave.
~8 hour roundtrip for an hour of race watching....and didn't get to meet anyone
At least I got a few pics (I have a lot more if anyone wants to see them):

...so much of that looks so familiar. Including that damn camera/chase car Miata in the Penalty Box.
Hopefully Dan and co. don't take out the temporary chicanes like we did.

So, other than the OBVIOUS, how does Chupcar compare with Lemons? (Nice standings!!)
