30 minutes later, Hudson O’Neal is stopped in turn 3. We’re still in hot laps. He may have put it in the wall. I’m not sure, I missed it. But, Hudson has pulled off the track after only a lap or two.

Last night, Hudson O’Neal drove from 15th to 2nd. He was excited about tonights event. This might put the team behind for the rest of the night.
