In quals for the 2nd USF2000 race, Andre Castro again had issues, this time before he could complete a full lap at speed. Recall he hit the wall in the first race qualifying session earlier in the day. Didn’t look like he hit anything, but the red came out to retrieve his car early in this session, and he didn’t get back out to turn a lap later.
With about 4 minutes left, the Top 5 were: Parker Thompson, Oliver Askew, Rinus VeeKay, Dakota Dickerson, and Robert Megennis.
With the order shuffling at this time, we got another red flag as Ricky Donison nosed his car in to the Turn 8 tire barrier. Most driver’s were just getting on to fresh rubber to go out and put in their late flying lap, so this red (and subsequent checkered) really messed up quals for many of them. In fact, I’m not even certain a few of those laps in the Top 5 will count as they may have been set with a local yellow being displayed. We’ll have to wait for the official results to come out in a bit to get this one sorted.
