Pretty hard crash for Marcus Ericsson today

That was a pretty hard hit. Can't imagine that the tub is ok after that.

Well this most recent caution puts him back on the lead lap but he is at the back of the field. 45 laps to make up some spots and one more pit stop.

Well Larson signed a 2 year deal so he can try again next year to run the double
