Just as soon the green comes out, the caution comes back out........and its' a multi-car schmozzle; 4 cars involved at the Carousel..................
Wilson, Wheldon, Quattro, Marco
Looks like Wilson spun in the Carousel after Dominguez hit 'em, and then the other three got collected as well; however, it looks as though all four may be able to continue..........

Green flag out! Briscoe and Moraes take off and separate themselves from the peloton......IMO, this could be one of Moraes' better drives of the year.......
