Caution on the lap 4 restart as Moses stalls on the front stretch. McIntosh had passed Arp for 4th but will have to give the spot back.
Ferguson pulls off during the lap 4 caution. He’s out.
Lap 14 caution as Weaver gets into a car he was lapping and sends that car(Winger) for a spin. Weaver leads but Roberts had closed right to his spoiler in traffic. A Smith is third followed by McIntosh, Linville, Douglas, Mitchell, Marlar, Franklin and Cook. The fifth running Arp pulled off track just as that caution came out.
Lap 38 caution for Linville in turn two wall. He and McIntosh had been having an amazing battle for 4th. There was no contact between them. Weaver leads Roberts, A Smith, McIntosh and Franklin.
The pattern for each restart has been for Weaver to get out to a good lead then Roberts to slowly close in as the run goes on.
Cook pulls off under this caution. He had been in the top-10.
McIntosh made a great move to split A Smith and Franklin on the last restart to take third.
Roberts and McIntosh stuck with Weaver for a few laps after the last restart but the 116 was too tough.
