There is now a video for you gutsier folks who want to find the caution
and lap leader breakdown.

Troy Beebe started 9th

First caution - laps 11-15 - 75, 86, 93 accident turns 3/4 (It looks
like Jansen had tagged the wall over in turn 2 a couple laps in a row
and was very slow before this accident)
Second caution - laps 27-29 - 15, 55 accident turn 3
Third caution - laps 38-40 - ???
Fourth caution - laps 52-58 - 25 oil on track frontstretch
Fifth caution - laps 86-92 - 82 debris turn 2 (an accident kicked up a
massive cloud of smoke on the backstretch but no yellow waved. A large
piece of metal from Schuldt's car wound up in turn 2 while his car
stopped in turn 1, and the caution finally waved several laps later)
Sixth caution - lap 95 - 123 accident turn 4 (the track announcer said
something about a rule regarding a 5 lap shootout, similar to what ASA,
I think, had regarding the last 5 laps being under green. The caution
laps did not count past 95, to the best of my understanding)

That gives us 6 cautions for 26 laps

Lap leaders:
Hornaday 1-8, Chase 9-58, Pederson 59-85, Chase 86-100 (It looked like
Chase took the lead for the final time when Pederson slowed for a wreck
that didn't bring out a caution immediately, but nothing changed when
Pederson protested by pulling along Chase under yellow)

Laps led:
Hornaday - 8
Pederson -27
Chase - 65

25 DNF reason - engine
82 DNF reason - crash
86 DNF reason - crash
96 DNF reason - mechanical (can't get any more specific, gotta do it old
Pro Cup-style, sorry)

The 55 was also a DNF

Not sure of the 71's status. I'm honestly surprised that I could garner
as much as I could from the grainy video shot from the stands, but the
track announcer being quite descriptive helped a lot.
