A lap 54/55 incident sent George Brunnhoelzl to the hospital briefly for
observation as well as some fans in the stands, who were hit by
high-flying debris. Thankfully everyone wound up ok despite the serious
incident.

Race winner Clay Rogers, Steven Wallace and Ken Butler III were each
involved in three cautions, arguably 4 for Rogers when he knocked debris
off of Shane Huffman's car to cause another yellow. Rogers seemed to get
a pass for his experience and skill level, Wallace and Butler very much
did not. For both drivers, their three cautions came as a result of
originally making contact with the back of another car.
