2020 Nightdona 500

The 2020 Nightdona 500 is the first race of the 2020 Piston Cup Season. This race is known for being the 80th aniversary of the Piston Cup. The only living ones from the 1940 season who attended it are Ya Chun Fei and Roy Bench's pitty Frank (although Dennis Scheck, Jay Roper’s crew chief, called in virtually at the start of the race). This is the first race for 2020 rookies Monty Piceski,Eric Jones and Zach Wheeler. Eric did the best of all 3 of them placing 8th,Monty Piceski finished in 17th but Zach did not finish as he was involved in the big one and getting taken out by George New-Win

A big one happened at lap 2 involving Steve LaPage, Aaron Clocker, Jim Reverick, M' Fast Fong, Tim Treadless, Dan Carcia, Magnet Face George New-Win, and rookie Zach Wheeler.

Ed Truncan finishes 19th as usual, while J.D. McPillar and Nick Shift finished 1 lap down.

Sadly, it wasn't that historic like how we all expected as there were only 2 crashes (A big one involving 8 cars and Will Rsuch blowing up his engine) but it was nice as Cruz won for the third time, one of the rookies finished in the Top 10 and Storm, although he didn't crashed. He at least finished 20th demostrating he will NEVER win the Great American Race or Big 500 cause he just SUCKS at major speedways.
