Ooh, look at Carson Brown getting loose, have to chase that car up the hill, make it 3-1.
3-1 on lap number one, first trip down the back stretch here in Iowa.
Carson Brown was trying to fight his way back to that runner-up position.
Great battle there as Tristan McKee just drives away.
Right in behind the 28 of Carson Brown.
Brown the winner at Phoenix, looking for his second win of the season here tonight.
Lap number three, and we've got a spinner.
The seven is around, and that's Caden Stavenport, 22-year-old from nearby Slater, Iowa, for
CCM Racing.
Pace car pulls back down pit road off turn four, back up to speed, and back under Green
here at Iowa, the 77 of McKee on the outside.
Chet Spiller on the inside.
He got a good restart in that 79 car.
See, there's a lot of that progressive banking, a little bit more banking up there with Tristan
McKee was than on the bottom.
Good restart by Carson Brown on the 28 this time.
See Bowman running the bottom in the 20 alongside the 70 of Thomas Nunziata.
A couple more nitro cars right behind, and now the dizzying in the 15, and the 25 of
Beauchamp going to go through the middle.
And caution out for the second time here on lap number 15 with McKee out front and Brown
at Bowman.
And it looks like the 06 is around of Ben Peterson, 29 years of age from Birmingham,
Alabama for Wayne Peterson Motorsports.
Back under Green here at Iowa to get a very nice restart for the 77 of Tristan McKee with
his teammate Carson Brown on the 28 on the bottom, leading that bottom groove with Bowman
behind him.
How about Andy Jankowiak, that blue, and it's an unusual color for us, that blue and black
number 71, but doing a great job up there in third spot.
Andy J., the Talladega winner this season.
His best career finish on a short track came right here a couple years ago.
I think he had a fourth place finish three wide back there for fifth.
Look at the heavy traffic now.
That's Tristan McKee that was able to get through that traffic.
Look at Carson Brown on the inside.
McKee's up with the loose stuff.
All the way to the bottom for Carson Brown on the 28, and Carson Brown takes advantage
of the lap traffic and goes in front of his PRG teammate.
Here's Max Rhees, biggest mover, began 26th in the third caution.
Our scheduled race break in the third caution of the night.
Talked about the eight top fives and the top tens, 12 of those.
Goes back under green, finishing up our third caution, the 77 of McKee on the bottom of
the great restart, pulling ahead of Carson Brown, his teammate, and now Brown nearly
goes around, got bumped by the 18 of Max Rhees.
Big time lose for Max Rhees, just about took himself and Carson Brown out, and Nunziata
is going to grab that third spot from Rhees for the moment, but McKee with another great
start like the initial start, grabs that lead.
The one thing that they caution is out.
Caution out here for the fourth time, and it's going to be the 48 car, Brad Smith.
Back under green here in Iowa, and another tremendous restart by Tristan McKee in the
77, three wide behind him, with the 70 of Nunziata getting to the bottom, Brown in the
middle of that mix, and the high side is driven by Rhees.
These drivers know that the restarts are so critical here, Nunziata's going to try to
get his nose underneath Brown, Brown now pulls up in front of Max Rhees, now Max is
going to try to move to the inside, can we be four wide?
Let's make it three wide, anyway.
Bowman, Nunziata, Rhees part of that, 48 of Carson Brown on the high side, maintains second
place.
Right down on the door, the 71 of Andy J had made him loose, and look at he lost four positions
after getting loose, and Andy J's like, oh, Brad Smith.
15, getting into Brad Smith as he spins for the second consecutive time, and Jade Avedisian
had nowhere to go.
Set to go back under green here in Iowa, Speedway, and another great restart on the top line
from the 77 of McKee.
Yeah, Carson is just getting killed on these restarts.
Obviously a fast car, he's going to try to move underneath Bowman again to try to grab
the second spot back.
Bowman at the top of the 20, Brown on the bottom, followed by Rhees in line.
Wrapping that bottom line, and the 71 on the outside is Andy J running fifth.
Even after a quick caution, like Kitzmiller got, so she needs to hold on.
She needs to keep that 77 behind her if she can.
Obviously a little bit of damage to her car.
There's a caution, she's going to be able to hold off the 77.
Back under green here in Iowa, it's the 77 with a push from the 20 of Bowman, and they
jump out to one-two.
Watch Carson Brown hard into the throttle, loose, trying to get back by Bowman to grab
that second spot back.
Side by side.
Into the turn, Brown on the bottom of the 20 of Jake Bowman, the points leader, and
Max Rhees is right there in the 18.
It's not the pathway straight to Cuffins.
Oh, caution is out.
No, Jason Kitzmiller.
Jason Kitzmiller in the 97 spins, and he's got damage.
A lot of damage running up in the top ten.
What a tough break.
And the green flag back in the air here at Iowa Speedway for the final stretch of the
race, and it's Tristan McKee in the 77.
That's the best restart that Carson Brown has gotten.
He's able to hold on to the second spot through turns one and two.
Look at three wide for fourth.
Contact, another great restart by McKee, a good one by Brown as well.
Side by side.
Look at Rhees get loose.
Rhees get loose.
Going to lose a spot or two.
That's right.
