Halfway
Lap 25, Clanton drives under Richards for 2nd. Richards crosses him to retake the spot and opens the gap.
The cushion is heavy in turn one. Many are knocking it hard enough to jack the front nose around and nearly slap the wall. Pierce, Bronson and Marlar have all done it.
Lap 36
Lap 36, the caution is out for debris in turn one.
