Round 1
Billy Gullian and Frank Heckenast Jr lead them to the green flag. Jared Hawkins throws it in 3 wide, from row 2. He held it on the bottom but they still ran out of room. Hawkins doors Gullian who doors Heckenast.
I’m not sure but I think Gullian might have turned in early in the middle then clipped Hawkins as he went by on the bottom. Or Hawkins just doored him, it happened quick.
Both front row starters are sent up up the banking. Each of the slam the outside wall. Both will exit the track on the hook.
