On Thursday evening, the NASCAR Cup Series came one step closer to the Great American Race on Sunday, with the running of the Bluegreen Vacations Duel Races. The races were neither caution-filled crash fests, nor trains of cars running in a single line. There were pretty sure bets, and lucky surprises. Of course, there were also commercials.
