The race would pass the halfway mark on lap fifteen and Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) and Chilton would close in on second place McIntosh and the lead quartet of drivers worked slower traffic. The only caution of the race would wave on lap nineteen when Chilton would get by Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) for third and as the pair entered turn three, second place McIntosh and the lapped car of Casey Turman would make contact and Turman would spin and Chilton would be collected in the spin, ending both Chilton and Turman’s night.
