Sylvania 300 red-flagged with 70 to go
LOUDON, N.H. -- The Sylvania 300 was red-flagged with 70 laps to go when a five-car melee in Turns 3 and 4 induced the race's fifth caution period.
Rookie driver Chad McCumbee sparked the accident when he spun in Turn 3 and collected the car of Matt Kenseth, the No. 12 seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, sending the Roush Fenway Racing driver hard into the wall. David Gilliland hit Kenseth's car on the driver's side and then was hit from behind by Brian Vickers' car.
Casey Mears, who had never recorded a DNF in his 11 previous starts at NHMS, recorded his first when he flattened the nose of his No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet.
The cars have just re-started their engines and are now rolling on the track, meaning will be going green soon.
The order with 230 laps complete:
1. Jimmie Johnson
2. Greg Biffle
3. Carl Edwards
4. Jeff Burton
5. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
