Rob Huff, who was taken out in the incident, felt Gené was also to blame for the crash.

“I feel that there’s a corner there, you’ve got to turn at some point, and he didn’t seem to want to turn it,” said Race 1 winner Rob Huff, the first to be caught in the incident. “It was a shame as I think we could have had two wins today.”
