Notes: Race scheduled for Monday, May 28; start delayed until late in the afternoon due to rain; then race stopped due to 1st lap accident; rain prevents the race from resuming. On Tuesday, May 29, rain halts the race on the pace lap, preventing a start for the second day in a row. On Wednesday, May 30, rain threatens yet another washout, but the sky eventually clears well enough for the race to finally get going. On lap 58, a fiery crash halts the race; after a long red flag the race resumes, but on lap 129 rain begins to fall again and the race is definitely called on lap 133.
