Would love to know what happened at the end of this race...a caution
with 9 to go ends up running 6 laps past the scheduled distance? And 2
more cautions on top of that?

Maybe the most surprising thing is the 9th place finish for Ken
Alexander though...

Well, good news me-from-4-months-ago (and anyone else curious) - here's
what happened!

To start, the race was delayed over an hour by a pop-up rain shower.
Anyway, the race progresses along fairly cleanly until lap 175. Ron
Young and Freddie Query get together while racing for second and crash.
Query does a quick 360 and only drops to fourth place while Young is
trapped near the back of the lead lap line. Hal Goodson and Billy Bigley
proceed to run away from the snarling pack 1-2 until a caution on lap
192 for a multi-car calamity. For whatever reason, the caution period
lasted until lap 207 despite the fact that none of the involved cars
were sidelined for the night due to damage. On the restart, Keith White
spins by himself at the back of the pack. Green-white-checkered number
two is in order but before the cars get up to speed, Scott Kilby jacks
up Freddie Query and Query noses into the pit entrance wall. The restart
is waved off and the race extends even further without the green flag
ever being dropped. Finally, after a whopping 19 laps of overtime,
Goodson got his rightfully-deserved win when everyone kept it together
over the last 2 laps.

First caution - 96 spun turn 1
Second caution - 96 spun backstretch
Third caution - 98 stopped backstretch
Fifth caution - 09 spun turn 2
Sixth caution - 4, 8 accident
Seventh caution - 03, 27, 44, 94 accident turn 2
Eighth caution - 26 spun frontstretch
Eighth caution part 2 - 8, 45 accident frontstretch

Goodson's winnings- $9,200
Bigley's winnings - $4,600
Reutimann's winnings - $1,350
Alexander's winnings - $1,150
Gibbs' winnings - $625
Owens' winnings - $875
Query's winnings - $1,595
Riggs' winnings - $775
Fultz's winnings - $445
Lindley's winnings - $935
Gordon's winnings - $425

This was the first of two wins for Hal Goodson in 1998. It was Ken
Alexander's only top-10 finish in any NASCAR series...although he did
have two more tenths in ASA racing the following season.
