Now saying no lap was completed. Complete restart.
Huge crash on backstretch during second attempt at a start. At least 10 cars involved including Payne, Ligon, Nichols, Buckingham, Marlar, Ledford, Mashburn, Collins, Oliver. Cars were three -wide at about the fourth position and ran out of room. Marlar, Buckingham and Collins will be able to continue. Ligon and Payne appear to be done for the night.
Lap 5 caution as leading car of Roberts and third running Marlar spin in turn one. McIntosh also had a problem and looks to be out. Appears as if Roberts and Marlar spun to avoid McIntosh as he slowed to pull off track.
Davenport now leads Overton, Buckingham, Grizzle and Collins.
Lap 10 caution for spin by Mashburn. Davenport had just caught the tail of field and was three-wide with slower cars at the time of the yellow. Davenport leads Overton, Buckingham, Grizzle, Oliver, Nichols, Collins.
Marlar retired after the last caution and Roberts has also pulled off.
Lap 48 caution. Davenport and Overton have put on an incredible battle, exchanging sliders in lapped traffic on laps 20 and 21. Davenport leads Overton, Buckingham, Collins, Grizzle, Roberts, Payne
