This race was held on the 1/3 mile layout.

Kevin Hamlin and Eddy McKean crashed on the final lap going for the
lead. Hamlin dominated the race but as the long green flag run went on,
McKean reeled in Hamlin and kept within striking distance. Given a
chance with a late restart, McKean eventually found an opening and
passed Hamlin, but Hamlin gave McKean the bumper coming out of the final
corner and sent McKean spinning. Not sure if Hamlin actually crossed the
line first or not, but by penalty he was placed at the tail end of the
lead lap. Hamlin was very apologetic post-race, saying he had no
intention of wrecking McKean and only got into him because he got back
on the gas sooner.

There were 7 cautions for 31 laps, the last yellow seems to have been
omitted here.

First caution - 5 spun turn 3
Second caution - 68, 92 accident (Riehl busted his radiator and while he
did rejoin the race, the car didn't last much longer)
Fourth caution - 01, 15 accident
Sixth caution - 61 spun turn 3
Seventh caution - laps 132-136 - 6 spun turn 3
