A Turn One pileup brings out the red flag — that's the brutal side of Superbike racing right there.

Holding pace through a red-flag restart without flinching is really about experience.

Turn One pileups are a VIR classic, but this one was on the larger side.

Jacobsen and Uribe both making the podium suggests the young-gun pecking order is shifting.
