Cup - Mackay Quits Early, Server Quits Twice, 11th Through 13th Not Classified

WATKINS GLEN, NEW YORK - Dan Mackay scored his first last place of the season as he pulled a "start and park" on his unsponsored #81 Dodge. Mackay pulled into the pits after 2 of the 42 laps, citing the fact that he had troll stuff to do. Tom Delgado would fall out next in the #37 Namco Dodge for Mopar Magic Racing, crashing into a tirewall off the bus stop after 13 laps. This race will be remembered for the server going down twice, with perennial backmarker Mike Rutana in his final race before going off to Ohio State leading at both times of the server delays. Despite pleas from Rutana for officials to call the race, no such luck. Rutana would finish 8th and draw the ire of many on the track with his attitude after the race. Rutana defended his actions by claiming he was trying to win the race on strategy. Rumor is that Rutana will be parked for one race if he comes out of retirement.
