Lap 6 caution for flat on Crowder. McCarter still leads over Johnson, Williams, Grizzle, Knowles and Barrett.
Lap 22 caution for Turner smoking. Intense racing in traffic. Top-2 of McCarter and Johnson had pulled away from a good 3rd place battle between Williams, Grizzle and Knowles. Barrett is 6th followed by King, Henry and Shockley.
Lap 26 caution for Sparks. McCarter held off a stiff challenge from RJ during that run. Still Williams, Grizzle and Knowles 3-5.
Lap 36 caution for Shockley. RJ had just gotten around McCarter for the lead in heavy traffic but has to give up the spot as the lap had not been completed.

Incredible finish! McCarter had pulled away by several car lengths but RJ closed back in with a couple to go. As the two leaders came out of turn four to take the checkered, a slower car spun right in front of them but everyone made it through.
