On lap 91, contact between Scott Wimmer and Brian Scott resulted in a spin by Colin Braun, and Braun’s car was slammed in the rear by the following car of Steve Wallace. The impact shot Braun’s car into the air, and Wallace’s car came to a stop partially underneath it as fire erupted. There were no injuries.
A few laps later, James Buescher tapped Trevor Bayne’s car in the second turn, and both cars slid through the turn. Coleman Pressley spun out as he slowed behind them.
