Strong all day, Kurt was often found running the bottom groove of the track while most ran up in the higher groove. Pitting for a loose wheel &nbsp;had him down 2 laps at 1 point in the race but he battled back and was one of the strongest cars at the end of the day. The top 5 finish was only the 4th in the 205 cup race history of the Denver, CO based single car team&nbsp;</li>

Apparently there has been no love lost between the 2 going back to their days as teammates at JGR. After the post race scuffle that followed the Bristol Race, they carried their "rivalry" over to social media channels ..&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Logano:&nbsp;Hey <a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" style="color: #0084b4; text-decoration: none; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/dennyhamlin"><s style="text-decoration: none; color: #66b5d2;">@</s>dennyhamlin</a> great job protecting that genius brain of yours by keeping your helmet on</li>

<li>x] Television(TV) coverage and Ratings&nbsp;</li>
<ol>
<li>] This site has&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cawsnjaws.com/article/590/commercial-breakdown-and-links-related-to-the-2013-food-city-500" target="_blank">full stats for the TV broadcast</a>&nbsp;on FOX, which indicated that 138 minutes of the total 191 minutes of the TV broadcast was RACE COVERAGE (72.25%) and the balance COMMERCIALS(27.75).&nbsp;</li>
<li>] The race averaged a 4.3/10 in the overnight ratings. That's up +8% over last year's 4.0/10 for the same race.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] So far this year, 3/4 races on FOX have posted a year-to-year increase. While yesterday's race was edged out by the NCAA SELECTION show on CBS (4.4/10) as the most watched sporting event, final projections may still place the race as the top event. In 4 races this season NASCAR ratings are up 13%.</li>
<li>] Attendance - although NASCAR no longer provide guesstimated attendance figures, the grandstands at the BMS race were noticebly nowhere near capacity, with some guess estimating at about 50% of the 160K speedway capacity.</li>
