A huge mistake I made when writing the commentary and even though I proofread it many times and had someone else also doing the same for me, it was not caught. I've been a fan for many years myself, at least 35 years and I knew better. I've worked in the racing business at a track or doing work for another friend who is a professional in NC for many years. My mistake and I do know the difference between laps and miles. Thank you for bringing this mistake to my attention. I did not realize what I had done until you took time to do so.

Those of us who have been fans for over 40 years know the "Coca-Cola 600" has always been 600 MILES not 600 LAPS!!
