With six laps, Larson had reduced his Wallace gap only three seconds when a yellow caution flap came due to the rain. Then, an accident occurred once the drivers returned to the track, which forced a second extra period of time.
Wallace’s team was worried that he could run out of gas due to additional laps, but the risk was ran and paid to Wallace, who could survive the increase in Larson.
