As the race reached the halfway point, a red flag was thrown for the flipped #9F Andy Flood. He was okay and rejoined the field with a bent up wing. After the restart #24B Johnny Boos took over the lead, but sneaking up from his 13th starting spot #26 Chris Crowder took over second nearly passing Boos.
