On lap 27 the caution would wave for third running, Robert Baker, who slide out of turn three.(not a nice word)He would be able to rejoin the tail of the field.(not a nice word)The final eight laps went caution free as Mitchell claimed the win, which was his first of the year and third career triumph on the tour.(not a nice word)He was followed at the stripe by Brandon Smith, Curtis Cook, Jon Kirby, and Mason Oberkramer.
