Watching the process I had not realized that they applied a patching compound, said to be "..street bond..." to the surface to lock in loose particles. Said the whole thing was ten or eleven steps, which they accomplished pretty quickly, all things considered. Putting out that jet fuel fire and cooling everything down was really done very well. Kudo's to their track support guys.

I was surprised that Hamlin didn't play a bigger part in the finish too, Bob. He'd been up front a lot all night.
