COYOTE is still the leader with a very fast car.   So fast that SPEED gives up 2nd place for some new tires hoping to run down COYOTE in the final laps.   But on lap 166 as we go green COYOTE loses horsepower and has to switch ignition box's.   This allows SPEED to go three wide in turn one to pass COYOTE. (as seen above) in picture B.   COYOTE not up to speed gets hit by the #43 car and damages his car.   COYOTE has to pit under green and finishes the race in 25th place.
