The lap-17 yellow would be for Tommy Kerr spinning in turn four after almost making contact with Casey Roberts, the car ahead of him trying to get slowed down on the bottom of the apron of the track. The final caution of the night would be on lap 35 as Cory Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) slowed in turn three.
