Talladega Aaron’s 499 “Uh-Oh” Report
Car No | Lap | Caution | Incident |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 14 | #1 | CAUTION FLAG! Brad Keselowski cut down in front of Danica Patrick, getting clipped in the left rear, sending him towards the infield area before shooting back up the track. Limited damage considering being spun out at almost 200 mph. He lost a lap, but got it back thanks to the free pass. |
1 | 14 | Jamie McMurray suffered slight damage as he went through the grass to avoid Keselowski. He went one lap down. He was also forced to start from the back for pitting too early. | |
2 | 17 | After pitting for repairs from his spin, Keselowski came back down pit road reporting water pressure issues. Turned out that the overflow line to the radiator had been cut. By the time it was replaced, he had lost six laps. | |
10 | 36 | Danica Patrick reported rising water temperatures running out front, so she dropped back in the field a bit (20th). | |
50 | #2 | CAUTION FLAG! Debris just past the start/finish line. | |
106 | #3 | CAUTION FLAG! Debris from the caution light was on the track. | |
41 | 108 | Kurt Busch was flagged for speeding on pit road, sending him to the back of the line for the restart. | |
2 | 136 | #4 | CAUTION FLAG! Brad Keselowski, racing with the leaders despite being six laps down, got a little loose, maybe with some help from Trevor Bayne, sending them into the wall and collecting a number of cars in the process. |
136 | Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Trevor Bayne, Brad Keselowski, Brian Scott and Tony Stewart all went to the garage for repairs. Bayne, Keselowski, Scott and Stewart would not return to the track. | ||
38 | 151 | #5 | CAUTION FLAG! David Gilliland appeared to blow an engine, ending his day prematurely. |
34 | 175 | #6 | CAUTION FLAG! Jimmie Johnson got loose, tapping Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stenhouse got away clean, but a chain reaction behind the crash collected a number of cars. |
175 | Johnson stayed on the lead lap after pitting for repairs. Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Michael McDowell, David Ragan and Reed Sorenson suffered damage in wreck behind Johnson, sending that group to the garage. | ||
99 | 183 | #7 | CAUTION FLAG! Carl Edwards got loose, possibly from a tire going down. He slid up the track, making slight contact with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Ryan Newman was an innocent bystander, suffering front-end damage. Ryan Truex and Cole Whitt also suffered damage. |
51 | 188 | #8 | CAUTION FLAG! Justin Allgaier wrecked in the tri-oval as they came to the white flag. Allgaier’s rear bumper came off the car, landing on the front straightaway, leading to a caution flag halfway through Lap 188, ending the race. |
