little bit tight, I just couldn't get
around guys where I wanted
to," Tomac said. "The guys have
more energy, too, so everyone

halfway point, he had just moved
around Hahn and into third place
seemingly miles behind the two
Pro Circuit racers.
Once in third with a relatively clear track in front of him,
