For all we know those lappers saved sexton from busting his ass because cooper was already right there.

Nah, Webb would have got by anyway as he always does.

It certainly made it easier for Webb but he may have gotten him anyway . Webb was as fast as anyone last night . Faster than Tomac for the most part . Eli couldn't catch him in the second race .

Webb was rapidly closing on Chase.    We'll never know for sure if he would have passed Chase without the lapper incident.

...I say he would have because he is just flat out better than anyone on a beat to shit track, late in the race. 

Chase had nothing on him with speed in the 2nd and 3rd race.    Webb was down nearly 7 seconds from the lead in 3rd race....I think he was in P6 or P7 early too.   Then down about 3.5 from Chase once Chase got back up off the ground.      

Just a great night of racing for both classes.  Nice to see a non-boring 250 race for once!

Lapper completely trashed himself and forced both the other lapper and Sexton inside. Coming out of the corner, the lapper had no idea which way to go, as the top guys were pretty split on who was going inside and outside before the tunnel jump. It sucks the way it happened, but this one was not on the lapper at all. Chase is cool and he knows that it wasn’t his fault.

Looking at the lap charts, over the five laps prior to the lapper incident...they were neck to neck. Chase actually totaled out .2 seconds gained on Coop over that five-lap period. Cooper had not gained ground.

The only solution to the lapper problem would be replacing the blue flag for a black one and having lappers ejected from the race before the leaders get to them. Otherwise they’re always gonna be a factor to get in the way and effect the outcome.

I had not looked at the actual lap times....just the numbers on the race clock.    It appeared that he was on top of Chase quickly when the lapper thing happened..   I don't think Chase even know he was there until too late.

I think the definition of the blue flag should be “lappers stay left”. That way everyone knows exactly what to do and eliminates the guesswork, making the situation a lot more predictable for all. The leaders might not get the ideal line but they should be able to adapt.
