James Davidson’s right front tire would catch fire bringing out the first caution on lap 6 of the race. The caution would bring the back of the pack down pit road for service while the leaders stayed out. A crash from Marcus Ericsson would bring out the second caution of the day.

Spencer Pigot would spin and hit the area just in front of pit road bringing out a caution for
