More on last night: In the 410 wingers: Statler lost a wheel (or a tire went down; not exactly sure) while leading heat three ...... Brent Kaeding was sent backwards by the officials for supposedly jumping one of the restarts, but it looked to many in the stands like he was only doing what was allowed between the two cones as he =was= the pacesetter. He was =definitely= upset about the call, and it took several yellow flag laps to finally "resolve" the matter ...... Steven Allard (not Jason) did a lovely, high-in-the-air, slo-mo flip in turn one right after one of the A Main restarts ...... Kyle Larson appeared to blow the engine -- or at least spray a lot of oil on his headers -- in his white #77 in his second qualifying lap. He was was second in his heat, and "on fire" along with T.K. in the main, however. In the 360 non-wingers, Rich V. looked like he had a lock on the main just as he did at Santa Maria two weeks ago. Bernal was having more difficulty getting back lapped cars until the last couple of laps, but when he did... ...... Forsberg and the rest of top finishers were at least a half a lap back ...... The reason Shane Golobic (who qualified third, I believe, in Bud Kaeding's B&Z #29) wasn't a factor in the main was that Forsberg (by his own later admission to the crowd) somehow caused him to get a =nasty= thumper with Tyler Dolacki going into turn one. The fence took such a beating that one of the posts was busted clean through and had to be reset ......

I don't know where you were sitting, but Kaeding definitely jumped that restart. Yes, he was the leader and the one to set the pace, but he was a good 3 car lengths BEFORE the first of the 2 restart cones when he took off. There was 1 or 2 jumps called on starts during the night that were questionable at best, but they were right on on this one.

A week after Golobic wins back to back mains he has two races where he is crashed before one lap is completed. Would have been interesting to see if he could have hung with Kyle on Friday and Bernal and VanderW on Saturday.
