Congratulations to Kyle Busch for his pair of victories this past weekend and also congrats to those who picked him here on this blog on Friday. Was glad that they were able to get the race in despite the fact that it rained in Richmond for most of the afternoon on Saturday. I thought the racing was pretty good all night. How was Friday night's race? I didn't get a chance to see it.

Here's the caution breakdown from yours truly:

I'm not going to count the first six laps of caution that were run to dry the track. So we'll start with the first caution flag being waved for Dave Blaney hitting the wall.

Jeremy Mayfield brought out the second caution. He spun and hit the wall.

Kasey Kahne spun on the front stretch bringing out the third caution. He didn't hit a thing though.

David Stremme made contact with Carl Edwards sending Edwards spinning. Jamie McMurray had to check up and he spun also bringing out the fourth caution.

Jimmie Johnson had brake issues which eventually led to him losing his brakes and spinning, bringing out caution number five. To make matters worse, he restarted in the wrong position and got black flagged by NASCAR which resulted in a drive through penalty, putting him 3 laps down.

The sixth caution was because Dale Earnhardt Jr. got into Jeff Burton sending him spinning and up into the wall.

Caution number seven was brought out for debris. This was the only debris caution of the race.

Joey Logano spun Greg Biffle who went up and tagged the wall for caution number eight.

Kevin Harvick blew a tire and hit the wall hard for caution number nine.

Marcos Ambrose can thank Sam Hornish for his spin and hitting the wall for caution number ten.

Caution number 11 was from a spinning Mark Martin who was hit by Ryan Newman. Newman hit Martin who had to check up so he didn't hit Tony Stewart who had checked up to avoid dumping Kyle Busch.

David Stremme, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne all got up into the wall for caution number 12. Stremme got hit by Bobby Labonte which sent Stremme into the wall collecting Kahne and Johnson.

Caution number 13 was brought out by a spinning Bobby Labonte down the frontstretch.

David Reutimann spun which brought out caution number 14.

Here's a few random thoughts:

-- The dumb Burger King commercial surprisingly only aired twice during the race. Thank God for small miracles.

-- I thought the Casey Mears/Kevin Harvick team swap worked well, until Harvick wrecked. Mears finished the race ninth, his best finish this season. I can't wait to see if they continue to do well this weekend at Darlington.

-- Rookie Watch: Joey Logano finished the race in 19th position. Scott Speed finished 33rd. I'm not sure what Speed's problem was all night. He must have just had a terrible car because he was in the back of the pack all night. Logano continues to creep up in the point standings, sitting in 32nd position while Speed is on the outside looking in in 36th position.

-- I only saw two mistakes on pit road. The first was Jimmie Johnson got caught for speeding on pit road and had to serve a penalty of starting at the tail end of the longest line for the restart. The second was David Reutimann's crew let a tire go loose during a pit stop. Did you see anything else?

What did you think of the race?

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE: If everything goes as planned, Bump Draft is being reborn tomorrow. She's moving to a new blogging platform. I'm not really sure what to expect. I was just told that if I wanted to get any blogging in that I needed to do so today. I won't be able to do a thing for a good chunk of the day tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth delivery and should be back up and running tomorrow afternoon.

It's May which means the next few weeks are all night races. However, Saturday night's race may have to wait until Sunday. The weather doesn't look good at all.

Qualifying for tomorrow night's Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway is scheduled for today at 5:30 on SPEED. Fingers are crossed that they get qualifying in. I'd like to see Scott Speed make the race or at least have the chance to qualify.

Motorsports journalist David Poole died Tuesday of a heart attack at age 50. He spent the past 13 years as the NASCAR writer for the Charlotte Observer. He also hosted a daily show on Sirius NASCAR Radio and was highly respected throughout the industry.

Here are some of the reactions on Poole's contributions to the sport:

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to David's family. He was a friend of everybody in the garage area. He could be controversial from time to time but he always wrote and spoke what he believed. He didn't pull any punches with anybody and that's what people respected about him. He was good for the sport and will be missed." -- Richard Childress, President and CEO Richard Childress Racing

"David worked his ass off for our sport, whether it was in his writing or on his radio show. His life revolved around the sport and we're obviously very saddened by the loss. He will be missed." -- Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet

"David had the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of legendary motorsports journalist Tom Higgins. His success came from bringing his own style, direction, unique vision and perspective to his coverage of motorsports. David always spoke his mind and wasn't afraid to hold people accountable. He was always fair and made us better at what we did. We will miss David's spirit, generosity, principles, and friendship. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Karen, and his entire family." -- Jerry Gappens, Executive Vice President and General Manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway

"The NASCAR community is stunned and saddened by the loss of David Poole. David was as passionate about NASCAR as anyone and had very definitive opinions about the sport. He served the industry, and most importantly the fans, through his reporting and commentary in the Charlotte Observer and Sirius Satellite Radio. Our thoughts and prayers go out to David's family and friends. He will be missed." -- Brian France, NASCAR Chairman and CEO

"David was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and he was exceptionally passionate about this sport that we all care so deeply for. His voice was unique, his opinions were his own, and his abilities as a writer and journalist were unsurpassed. He had the courage to say what others would not, and he was deeply respected for it. Without driving a car or turning a wrench, David Poole was a racer, and he will be sincerely missed." -- Rick Hendrick, owner Hendrick Motorsports

"I've gotten to know (David) Poole really well over the years. He spent a lot of time with the No. 31 team every weekend and would sit and have conversations with us on just about everything. He was fun to agree and debate with. I admired his professionalism and work ethic and he did a great job of reporting our sport to the fans. He's someone I have a lot of respect for and he will definitely be missed." -- Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet

Rest in peace, David. You will be missed.
