Congrats to Cummins! I was following the updates on Twitter and was so nervous when I saw that late caution came out. Awesome to see Kyle finally get a USAC win at Haubstadt.
Haven't figured out that late caution yet. Cummins took the white flag the lap before and should have been taking the checkers when the flagman threw the white again to him. Never was a yellow shown to Cummins. Hmmmm.
The official had the white and checkers in his hands and was prepared to display the checkers to Cummins. When Clayton spun, he immediately turned on the yellow light, retracted the checkered flag and waved the white. I assume he thought it was the yellow as was normally in his hand. Once the MSCS official handed him the yellow, he promptly displayed it. No question as to what he was trying to do there and, in my mind, no question that the caution instead of the checkers was the right call.
Congratulations to Kyle on the big win at his home track, wish I could have been there. As a huge fan of the Cowboy great to hear he drove through the field till he had trouble. Hope he gets back to racing more
