Tyler Courtney 1st from 8th, Tyler Thomas 2nd from 2nd, Robert Ballou 3rd from7th, Scotty Weir 4th from 13th and Dave Darland 5th from 15th. A few observations: Josh Hodges (74X) was a rocket going from 18 to 6th by lap 26 and then he and Bacon touched with flats to both. Tom Harris (from England) in the 5E looked much improved this week, won a heat, made the "A" but flipped on the front stretch. The last 2 laps (or last 2 or 3 times they tried to get in the last 2 laps) were absolutely crazy. When Tyler Thomas hit the wall on the first or second restart they had him come in for a safety check. He was the lucky one. Kevin Thomas Jr. apparently hit it harder and then turned over. Didn't see clearly what happened to Chris Windom on the back stretch. I am absolutely positive that social media will have a lot of mad people on both sides of most of each of the incidents of contact. A lot of it, most of it, or possibly all of it was just racing. In my opinion, all of this action just illustrates how important winning the Smackdown is to racers. This is a classic. Once again my hat is off to all the O'Connors for the great job they do. Once again they prepared a track which let the finest open-wheel drivers in the world showcase what they an do! Thank you!!!
