There was a lot of buzz Friday at Auto Club Speedway. Literally.
A swarm of bees invaded NASCAR's flag stand Friday afternoon at the 2-mile oval, meaning Xfinity Series practice got underway with no green flag and no flag man.
Cameras zoomed in on a collection of bees — dozens, at least — clinging to a ledge in the flag stand. Obviously, NASCAR decided it was better to not have a flag man for practice than to expose any officials to needless stings (drivers can still hear about the track conditions from their team radio communications).
This is the second straight year bees have invaded the Xfinity Series in Fontana. Last year, a swarm engulfed part of Derrike Cope's hauler.
