Looked to me like the most contenders were eliminated by Coons' sudden oil dump on a restart and Tyler's radiator hose. 7 or 8 good cars right there on two unlucky instances.

They were slow to catch Welpott's issue, and the push trucks are always a question mark. Windom could have blamed the trucks & a crossed-up car pushing off from his first stop, had he lost. But Little 500 is all about dealing with the typical obstacles. Was great to have a battle over the final green-flag run.

Anyone know if Ryan Litt, was transported to the hospital? He defiantly seemed to have his bell rang, along with a left hand arm pain. The ambulance left the infield shortly after the crash.

I thought it was a heck of a race.
And it seems more people come every year.
Weather was perfect!

The 11 car was black flagged. An official met him at their pitstall and inspected the car and deemed it not leaking and effecting the track. It had no oil residue on the car anywhere as well as no drips while the car was running. It's the little 500 rock star. Push trucks and back marker cars will always be a factor. It's the way it always has and always will. They have every right race as the high dollar guys. And from what I seen in the twitter updates a lot of those high dollar guys stepped on their d!cks last night. But what can I say. I'm a low dollar guy that sadly wasn't there.

Last time I knew the fastest 33 cars to complete the qualifications, raced.
Through the years both 500's may for reasons like mechanial, weather or time had fast cars not racing. Thats why people love bump days.
Would you have withdrawn a qualified car to requalify?
I thought I saw a good race.

Did I say he had no business racing??? No I didn't so keep words outta my mouth I was told he was leaking fluid from a driver on the track... I know he was smoking bad all night as far as push truck drivers yeah always have and always will be a factor but last night was ridiculous I was there I watched it all night as far as high dollar teams stepping on there d**ks idk what you\twitter are talking about unless getting caught up in someone else's mishaps is what YOU are calling stepping on there d**ks then yeah I guess they did I have not missed a little 500 in years and as long as I can make it I wont ever miss one all I am saying is it really sucks that show was ruined by bone head moves Anderson puts in an awesome effort for the week of the 500 and puts drivers in trucks that has no business out there and refuses to black flag a car that is spraying fluid all over is just ridiculous as far as the 11 I was going off what I was told and obviously someone thought the same thing or they wouldn't have pulled them in but I know for a fact the other two cars where spraying the track

The smoke from the 11 was from the right rear seemed to be smoking it coming off of 2 and 4 every lap.
