Lap Leader: Richert 1-20...Winters actually crossed the finish line just inches ahead of Jerry but was DQed for not scaling.

Cautions: (2) reds & (5) yellows

1. On first start attempt, 92 spins sideways in turn 4 in front of most of the field. 20G collected and tipped on his side. Red flag. 92 sustained front end damage and was towed to the pits. 20G restarted at tail end minus nose wing.
2. On second start attempt, 55 hooked inside tire in turn 4 and flipped over. Pancaked top wing and nose wing, pushed to the pits. Red flag. 45 also pulled into infield and then went to work area for repairs. Norem restarted at the back of the pack.
3. With 4 laps in, 63c spin turn 2.
4. With 9 laps in, K9 spin turn 2 while running 4th.
5. On lap 10, 10 spin turn 2 while 87 & 20 make contact on frontstretch with 87 turned sideways. Scoring reverted back to lap 9. 87 changed a flat tire in work area and tagged the tail.
6. With 16 laps in, 10 spin turn 2 again. Sent pitside under two spin rule.
7. With 18 laps in, 18H & 6 contact. 6 spin turn 2, 18H to infield.

Winters finished first but didn't scale? Ouch!! How did that happen?

Double ouch.
