Two red flags and a race cut short at nine laps -- having watched this sport for years, that's a brutal, down-to-the-wire way to end it. A 0.177-second margin still gives even someone with throttle feel in his fingers like me chills. The real gut-punch was Jacobsen dropping to 17th right after setting the fastest lap.
