He was three laps down way early in the race, and every time there was a restart (which was often), he'd be in that inside lane and would pass the leader for another lap back. He had a fast car, but he had mechanical issues early on (broken lug nut). So, once he got back on the lead lap he just out-drove people. The man has skills behind the wheel, for sure, and Loomis & Co. build fast racecars.
