I'm actually having fun retrying this race. I just had a race where I made a mistake right off the start, getting into the bumper of the guy in front of me. It took me two laps just to catch the main pack again. By that point there were three separate packs. By the time I got into the top ten, the front pack of 3 was a straightaway ahead of me. With Harvick and Johnson in the lead of my pack, I stuck with them and drafted. Then I made a mistake and spun Johnson out, so it was just me and Harvick. Staying glued to Harvick's bumper, I caught the other 3 at the beginning of lap 12 and passed for the win on the back straight.

Patient and careful drafting are key. Without drafting you will not win the race. I have a short recording that shows me getting to the lead in a few laps. Unfortunately I can't upload it until Monday, when I get back to my laptop.
