00:00 >> This will be a little bit of a view from an aerial cam. You see Mayer moves back up,
00:04 gets into that traditional line. It looks like he's a little bit cautious getting into
00:09 turn one. You see Shane trying to get slowed down. Just makes contact, sends Mayer around.
00:15 As you said, Riley Harvick is able to capitalize on it.
00:18 >> I don't blame that on Shane Vinczgesberg. Sam Mayer left the door open, fills the gap.
00:22 You'll see Sam come down, not realizing that Shane is in there, locked up. It's going to
00:27 happen every time. >> Let's go on board with Cole Custer. Happened
00:31 right in front of him. >> It almost looks like Shane locked the
00:37 rear brakes up right there, trying to stay off of Sam Mayer. Typically at the start of
00:42 these races, guys aren't overly aggressive. The one thing we need to talk about here,
00:47 very limited practice, obviously a little bit of qualifying. I think getting those reference
00:51 points picked out, your braking markers into turn one, everybody's still filling that out.
