A BIG pileup at the start of this race saw Troy Williams actually flip
over the wall and out of the track.

At least two other cars caught air in the wreck, including one that
caught big air as Williams ran up the back of him.

It started when Travis Benjamin got together with Scott Bouley who spun
and triggered a 10-car wreck that blocked the track just past the blind
corner at the top of the esses. They just piled in. The wreck brought
out an extended red flag.

Dennis Demers ended up on his roof in a later incident to bring out the
second red flag. He lost a tire and slammed into the wall. They needed
to fix the wall, but Dennis was alright.

For the second year in a row, Brad Leighton goes from the top five to
the turn 1 gravel pit with just a couple laps to go.

Last win for Bryan Wall.

To my knowledge, this is the last time a car flipped out of the track
surface in any NASCAR series. I could be wrong though.

First caution - laps 2-3 - 12, 13, 16, 18, 21, 26, 47, 56, 93, 94, 98
accident esses/backstretch (red flag)
Second caution - laps 5-6 - 1 stalled inner loop
Third caution - laps 15-19 - 60 on fire turn 1 (Shaw originally pulled
into the very dry grass that was still in turn 1 at the time and had to
pull away because he had started to set the grass on fire!)
Fourth caution - laps 34-36 - 86 accident esses (red flag to replace the
guardrail, drivers were allowed out of their cars to cool off)
Fifth caution - laps 60-63 - 09 stalled backstretch
Sixth caution - laps 64-68 - 54, 55 spun turn 1

Lap leaders - Quarterly 3; Laps led - Quarterly 48

To the rear - 56 - engine change, 47 - transmission change

Troy Williams, the driver that flew out of the park, mentioned in his
interview after the crash that if they had crashed just a couple hundred
feet sooner, at most, he would have flipped down the 20-30 foot
embankment next to the infield tunnel. As scary as this wreck was, it
could have been significantly worse.

Journeyman Dennis Demers blew a tire on entry to turn two and flipped
over after plowing a big hole in the wall. No replay was shown.

For some reason I got a kick out of Dennis taking off half his firesuit
(he had an undershirt on) before he got in the ambulance. It was as if
he was saying, 'Hey, my day's over, no real need to stick around any
longer'.

The crash at the beginning of this race is the most humorous crash I've
ever seen. Nobody slowed down at the accident scene and cars just
started stacking em up, and some did somersaults in the air and leapt
over the race track fence. Thankfully everyone was alright, it's just
funny to laugh at looking back. Martin Truex Jr was involved.
