Tyler was pulling away in lapped traffic and it looked like it was going to be one of those races with no flags. Coming out of turn 4 with less than 6 laps left, Tyler hooked the rear of Matt Goodnight’s car causing him to roll over in front of flagstand. On the restart Dave Darland was in the lead with 5 laps to go when he brushed the wall in turn 2 causing him to lose speed. I think he went deep into the cushion in turn 4 to make up for it, but ended losing positions to both Chris Windom and Shane Cottle. That was the break Windom needed as he was able to hold off Cottle. I think Darland took 3rd over KT, but it was so close I could be wrong even though I sat behind flagstand. Josh Hodges from New Mexico, ran a very good race and came home 5th. This 16 car race was excellent and another 4 cars wouldn’t have made it much better unless they were top USAC racers.

"hooked the rear of Goodnight's car" is putting it politely. Steamrolled is probably the more accurate description

Headed down from Wisconsin and wouldn't miss this show at a great track. I would have still driven up there to see 12 cars. You Indiana fans are lucky to have all these gem tracks in your backyard
