Perhaps you are remembering 2017, which in my memory was a crash-fest. Last year only 5 cars DNF due to contact. 16 of the 22 starters were running at the finish. Interesting to see that all the wrecks happened between laps 9 and 13. Normally expect them in laps 1-2 and the last quarter of the race.
Dixon took all of 7 laps to get to 219.3 mph. It always surprises me that they can get up to speed so quickly. I guess it's partly due to the spec chassis and knowing you have a good setup when you hit the track.
