| | Nick DeGroot Wins at Virtual Indianapolis, Captures Inaugural Monday Night Racing Championship
Controversy reigned at the end of Monday night's Tufco Flooring 125 as contact between DJ Cummings and Nick Degroot put Degroot into the
turn 4 wall. Cummings won on the track, but the contact was deemed avoidable, so Cummings was disqualified. The results were determined before the crash, so Degroot inherited the victory and the Monday Night Racing championship.
