The event’s only caution would come on lap seven when Snatchko (56) spun out coming out of turn four after Clark (05) made contact with her. Track officials sent Clark (05) to the pits for making contact with her since it’s a no-contact division. Koteles (5K) would lead the restart with Chernik (5X) to his inside.
