Nance flipped his car on the first lap while going into the northwest turn (turn four). His car was heavily damaged but he was not hurt.
White was involved in a “slight mix-up” with another car about half way through the feature race. It damaged a tie-rod causing him to spin out.
Reed led the first 21 laps before he was passed by Folse.
