In a race full of twists and turns, including rain delays and wild card drama, here is what else was surprising and not surprising from the 55th annual running of the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond.
How did you become a spotter? "Well, I used to drive late models and modified’s in the NASCAR touring division. I first drove to Charlotte in 1996.
