Plenty of action in that one.
Johnny O pretty much had the measure of the field.

Good race for KPAX/Lizards, double podium with Parente and Cindric, and Parente should head into Sonoma with a slight 9 point lead.
And huge congrats to Mike on another podium!

Per Jon Fogarty on Twitter, he lost a valve stem in the T1 battle for second, which resulted in the flat tire & spin.

Jon fogarty ‏@JonFogarty99 1h1 hour ago In a move for p2 had slight contact that took off the valve stem of our right rear tire. Spun into t6 and had to park it. @GAINSCOracing
Someone on Twitter caught the T6 incident in photos:

Looks like Parente really was lucky on that one, Fogarty spinning right in front of him and Cooper actually hitting him from behind. Bad race for the #8, and a big hit to Cooper's Championship hopes.

As for Long pushing Michael Lewis off, I really hope PWC reviews it. Way overaggressive, looks like he left Lewis no room at all. Jerk move.
