Track is now open and we already have an incident. A.J.Henriksen was the first car out on the track. They were instructed to go down pit road. The pit entrance is in the middle of turns three and four. Not sure if Henriksen tried to turn in at the last second or had something break, but he drove straight into the tire barriers at the beginning of pit road.
