lap but just after the completion of lap one the caution waved track

Cook had John Oliver Jr. and Kris Walker on his back bumper but Damon
Murty snuck by Walker for third on the restart meanwhile Cook and Oliver
race wheel to wheel for the lead. The caution waved again on lap four
when Shane Paris, Abe Huls and Jim Mitchell got together in turn 1.
Oliver grabbed the lead away on the restart and then Murty got by both
