What a suprise. Expecting Antinucci, Matos, and Ana to a
repeat performance, JR Hildebrand has sneaked into victory
lane holding off Robbie Pecorari who started 23rd at the
Lottery 100 victory at Kansas and becomes the points leader
by 3 points over Richard Antinucci who finished in unlucky 13th.
Arie Luyendyk Jr is 3rd. Dillon Battistini finished 4th.
Wade Cunningham rounds up the top 5.

The rest of the top 10:
Sean Guthrie - P6
Jeff Simmons - P7
Brent Sherman - P8
Bobby Wilson - P9
Al Unser III - P10

Notables:
James Davison - 11th
Ana Beatriz - 14th
Logan Gomez - 15th
Raphael Matos - 19th

Looks like it will be a great series. As I am new to ovals I was surprised to see the Lights practice cancelled as the track was too cold. Is this a new saftey feature or what.

I hope the kid gets his changes in the next couple of years.

I am not sure I would say "sneaked" into victory lane after he led 47 of 67 laps and held off the field on five restarts!

They can't run the cars unless both the track and ambient temperature is 50 degrees or more. I believe it is Firestone's call.
