Big crash on lap 5 restart - Compton pinched Roffers into T4 g'rail big pile-up ensues. Roffers' car destroyed, and almost surely his title hopes. Rambo leads over Compton - red flag to clean up a massive mess. All drivers involved seem to be OK.

Dennis Franklin was on a rail last night from the drop of the green flag. All the others were on each other!
I think seven cars were on the track at the checkers prompting someone to call it the Carolina Crash Series......at least, for last night. LOL!
