Watching this race, there were definitely more than two cautions.
Matthew Sullivan recently uploading a much better quality race and in
full as well if anyone wants to fix it.

This was a big day for Ron Hornaday, Jr. as he starts off the day with a
win in the NASCAR Southwest Tour season opener here before he jumped in
a red Chevy truck owned by Dale Earnhardt to compete in the first-ever
NASCAR Truck Series race. TNN televised both this race and the new Truck
race live. Hornaday would finish ninth in the Truck event and move on
from the Southwest Tour to be a regular in that series as the season
went on. Troy Beebe would also pull double duty and race in the Truck race.

Brett Bell was black-flagged on the green flag for jumping the start and
went a lap down, but he still rallied back to finish fourth. Bell was
the defending winner of the Southwest tour portion of the Copper World
Classic.

At various stages of the race, Mike Joy and Buddy Baker lauded several
drivers as being potential Winston Cup prospects to watch out for in the
future: Shane Hall, Ron Barfield, Lance Hooper and Toby Porter. For
various reasons, none of those racers found success in the upper ranks
of stock cars, and the only driver in the field that would ever win a
Cup race was some 19 year old kid way back in 30th that crashed out for
the fifth time in his first six Southwest tour starts.

First caution - lap 9 - 07 accident turn 2; 12 accident turn 4
Second caution - lap 18 - 5, 45, 63, 85 accident turn 2
Third caution - lap 19 - 2, 4, 9, 10, 15, 17, 33, 80, 98 accident
frontstretch
Fourth caution - laps 21-25 - 5, 21, 32, 55, 61 accident turn 1 (one of
the cars ramped up over the wheels of another as they slid towards the
inside pit wall, breaking the wall and very nearly sending the car on
top over the wall and into the pace car, a lapper stopped at the exit of
the pits, and the lollipop man)
Fifth caution - laps 28-30 - 95 oil on track

There were 5 cautions for 8; caution laps did not count as per usual for
the Copper World Classic rules. However, after a couple messy pileups
that prompted lengthy cleanups, officials declared that caution laps
would count after the third yellow as the Southwest tour race was
starting to run into the timeslot reserved for Trucks' championship
debut. They barely made it a lap before Kenny Shepherd lost an engine.
