as always, transfer to the feature in the 360 division is based on both passing and finish points. Yellow at lap three for Dawson, who spun around in turn two. It is a little bit of mystery because the lap before, three cars got over the cushion in that same area and another car slowed in that area. There is nothing on the track, it may be just coincidence or it may be the angle of the sun. It was cloudy most of the day but now that we are racing, the sun is very bright. Yellow again at lap four for Russ Hall, who spun around in turn two. He had been running third at the time. These yellows are benefitting Wayne Johnson, who is amassing lots of passing points this way. On the restart, Johnson passed three cars and took second, which is where he will likely finish.

Lenz is leading on the white flag lap but showing some smoke.

St. Arnold smacked the fence in turn two and pulled in early. Long, who has not raced here since 2004, is making good progress around the hallowed half mile.

top four will transfer. Ryan Roberts did not start. Before they even started, Tyler Houseman went hard into the Iowa Telecom sign on the inside of the frontstretch. Apparently something broke on that car as he turned straight down into the sign. They are calling for a wrecker, so I'm going to guess he may not be able to start. Yellow at lap three as Russ Hall has hit the turn three fence. There will be a little delay as fuel is leaking out of the stopped car in turn three.

we'll have five extra laps tonight because of mid-season. Selvage leads early. At lap three, Beaver pulled a slide job for the lead on Selvage in turn three. Selvage got sideways trying to tuck back in and slammed head first into the inside fence in turn four. He is out of the car, not very happy with his fate and the wrecker is taking the car. It probably has too much damage to restart. Beaver will lead the restart with Dave Hall and Wayne Johnson hot on his tail. Yellow at lap four for Tyler Thompson, who looped around in turn one. On the restart, Wayne challenged for the lead and took it down the backstretch. Beaver pulled a slide job back on him and made it work by a narrow margin. Another slide job for Johnson to lead at lap 10. He's pulling away now and heading towards traffic. D.Hall is third and Mitrisin fourth. Apparently those two got together a bit and Mitrisin's nose wing suffered. Mitrisin lost a handful of spots with two to go as he got sideways. A yellow was thrown on the white flag lap as Thompson was spinning in turn two. He kept going though. Johnson had an eight second lead on Beaver as they were planning to come to the checkers. Now with the yellow, lapped cars will retreat to the tail for a green white checker finish. Johnson wins.
