“I could have really used the 12 grand [to win] and we should have been two-for-two with 250s here,” said Clark. “We really had the dominant car in the race here I feel. So I’m disappointed. We were riding around and riding around and our pit strategy worked out incredibility. We had four new tires and were suiting behind four cars that had 50 laps on their tires. The car was just too tight after a restart.

“The front end would not turn at all. It was like that on the restarts and would come out of it after six laps, but having a restart with five to go I knew wouldn’t be good. It would have been good enough to win the race though.”

The restart and the wreck is shown in the photo sequence below.

The deal for making the Unity 250 a PASS event was that the Unity finish could be counted instead of a team's worst placing for the PASS points standings. Johnny gets to count the fourth at Unity instead of the 19th at the Oxford Triple 50s and picks up 30 points, significantly tightening the points race with Ben Rowe and Cassius Clark who did not benefit that much from their Unity finishes. However, those two still have their Unity points
"in the bank" to use against a disastrous finish in the remaining races.
