I could be very wrong, but didn't Cliff have trouble coming out of turn 4 and the end of the front stretch wall? It seems like the darn drive line broke in two and got him really bad.

Fortunately they took some of that backstretch guardrail out so when I ran there you could use that area to get around some lapped cars in a hurry.
