  • Dave Rezendes was leading the event when he crashed on his own in the Esses with three laps to go.
  • Rich Bickle lost a guaranteed Top 5 finish when he collided with Boris Said on a restart with five laps to go. Bickle proceeded to pay Said back in the next turn. Said waited until Bickle came around to lap him and then shoved him off the track entering the Esses right before Rezendes crashed.
