Race recap in The Dispatch notes column.
Hey Home Depot, do you ever have employee meetings?
General
In all fairness, I think many folks - employees and others - could be confused by Kenseth's new sponsorship package. I'm kind of stunned with how little has been mentioned about how Home Depot as a brand has all but disappeared from the 20. The car still runs an orange HD bumper when the primary is Dollar General. Otherwise, the car is now red with HD's private label of Husky tools. After years of seeing an orange HD car on the track, some may not even be aware that Husky and the red scheme is still tied to HD.
Jimmie Johnson runs Lowe's Kobalt brand from time to time. But more often than not, the company has chosen to primarily brand the 48 as a Lowe's car. Its kind of interesting how HD finally backed away from doing the same.

Just found some video of the 72 Southern 500. The Baker-Brooks incident begins around 3:50.

Several of Tim Leeming's recent Racing Minutes lately have focused on many of the spring Darlington races. With those discussions and Saturday night's Cup race at Darlington, I found Tom Higgins latest Scuffs column a good - and funny -read.

Also, I noticed in his Twitter feed that he'll be a guest on Motor Week Live THIS Monday night - May 13 - at 7 PM ET. Confirmed it here:

Crews service Bill Stroppe's Mercurys of Billy Myers and Tim Flock before the race.
Green, green, green - the field gets the start. I would have loved to have seen the field start three-wide at Darlington. Had to be hairy times as they barreled towards turn one.
View of Bill Amick's car who was caught up in the lap 29 crash with Jim Paschal, Buck Baker and others.
