SEASON 39 INCIDENT REPORTS

[KickinAsphalt]

Race 11 11/10/16

Lap 6 #17 comes up and the #77 comes down and bumper hooks the #17. Incident charged on the #77 for not holding his line. He correctly served his penalty. ALSO, there were some drivers driving too fast into the incident. Per the rules, drivers are to slow down and proceed with caution.

Lap 10 The #2 comes down and the #96 comes up causing an incident. Both drivers served their penalties correctly.

Lap 32 As the #14 is exiting the pits off the turn. The #2 comes down and clips him causing a caution. This is the #2's second incident and he parked it.

Lap 41 The #25 bumps the #74 in the trioval causing an incident. The #25 retired.

Lap 66 The #77 gives the #143 a bad bump on the backstretch causing him to go up and get into the #088. Incident on the #77. Seeing how this was on the last lap, the #77 was scored the last car on the lead lap.

Lap 66 Coming to the checkered flag, the #18 is running out of gas. The #17 went to the middle and also began running out of gas. The #77 had a run on the #17, but #17 had nowhere to go due to being in a 4-wide situation. The #77 bumps him in the trioval causing him to spin. This one is being called a "racing deal" due to the #17 not having an escape route.

Race 12 11/17/16

Lap 19 The #428 comes into the pits too fast and spins into the pit wall and bounces back into other cars pitting. The #77 comes in hot, also, and tries to avoid the #095 and moves up and clips the #143 causing an incident as well. The #428 is docked 1 lap in the final standings for not serving his penalty. The #77 is issued a warning for not serving his penalty in a timely manner. Any infractions in the future can result in a penalties up to and including suspension.

Lap 26 The #33 blows his motor. No incident charged. The #92 is issued a warning for driving through a wreck

Lap 42 The #67 bumps the #143 causing an incident. #67 correctly served his penalty.

Lap 49 The #103 tries to squeeze into the bottom lane causing the #428 to hit the apron. The #103 drifts up and the #428 gains momentum as the #103 comes down causing an incident. SuperSpeedways have distinct racing lanes. When changing lanes you must be completely clear of the car in that lane you move to.
This is considered the bumper rule. If you're not clear of their bumper it's your incident.

The #103 did not correctly serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 54 The #28 goes low and drifts up and clips the #428 causing an incident that didn't result in a yellow. The #28 parked his car.

Lap 55 The #91 comes up off the bottom line and forces the #6 in to the #90 causing an incident. Incident charged on the #91 who did not correctly serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the standings. The #428 is also charged with racing into an accident. This was his 2nd and his scoring would have stopped there, had he not retired. This incident was protested. After the committee reviewed it, there was no 2/3's majority on the call, so by default, this is overturned to a "racin' deal."

Lap 55 Coming to the yellow, the #25 comes up and clips the #17. The #25 parked after the incident.

Lap 61 #6 blows his motor. No incident charged.

Race 13 12/01/16

Lap 11 #96 bumps and spins #75; #96 served his penalty. ALSO, #65 is charged with secondary contact during this incident; #65 served his penalty.

Lap 32 #59 bumps and spins #14 while entering the pits; #59 served his penalty.

Lap 44 #095 blown motor; no incident charged.

Lap 58 #14 is given a warning for bumping in the tri-oval.

Lap 60 An accordion effect caused #10 to be bumped and spun. This wreck is under further review. I'll update this page when the final call has been made.

Lap 61 After crossing the line, there is another wreck. After many reviews, I have to put this on #428 as he had room to his right-hand side and 2 cars underneath him. #428 was on a 1-and-park but continued on; we will address this below. ALSO, #07 and #65 are charged w/ a separate wreck after taking the yellow. #07 did not serve and is docked 1 lap. This was #65 's second caution and he did not park, so his scoring is stopped on this lap and his situation will be addressed below. This incident was taken to the Replay Review Committee and was over-turned. There was no 2/3 majority vote, so by default, the incident has been changed to a "racin' deal." #428 is not on a 1-and-park and his finishing position has been restored.

Lap 65 On the restart, the inside lane drivers at the front of the field are lined up nose-to-tail-to-nose. One driver doesn't get a great restart, and because there is no room between the drivers, it causes another accordion effect with #103 getting spun out. While I am calling this a "racin' deal", we will be implementing a change next season for starts and restarts to address these issues. We will go over it in the Season-ending Drivers Meeting.

Don't forget our races for the next/final 2 weeks are broadcast events. That means we cannot wait for anyone who is late. The server opens at 7pm EST. Every driver should do their best to be here as soon as possible. The Driver's Meeting is at 8:30pm EST. If you are not here by that time, YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR SPOT IN THE RACE. PLEASE be here ahead of schedule.


Due to this incident report, we have a couple drivers who are now ineligible to race next week. I've spoken to the other TallyChallenge owners and we are giving an option to those drivers. These broadcast races are being paid for by the MSR and the RTG owners as a "Thank You" to our regular supporters of the league. The donations our drivers send in are not being used to pay for these broadcasts; it is coming directly out of the owners' own pockets. I do not want to have guys who race and support this series each week getting parked and having their places being taken by part-time drivers. With that being said, we are offering these drivers the option to race in the Dec 8th race on a 1-and-park status and to make the trade-off fair, we are rolling their penalties over into the next season. That means they would be able to race the first broadcast race, but the trade-off would be sitting out Race #1 of next season and coming back to Race #2 on a 1-and-park.

Race 14 12/08/16

Lap 58 #77 loses control of his car entering the pits and collects #112. #77 was on a 1-and-park and did park.

Lap 67 #07 gives a bad bump to #6 and it causes a wreck. #07 was on a 1-and-park it already. Like with this race, #07 will be given the option to serve his penalty this week (by sitting out the season finale) or serve it next season (parked Race #1 and on a 1-and-park-it for his next race after that). Either way, he would have still been required to do a 4-tire pit stop which he did not do, so he is penalized 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 67 #39 is charged with secondary contact. #39 initially let out of the gas and then got back into the throttle thinking he was in the clear and ran over #428. #39 served his penalty.

Lap 72 #2 bumper-hooks himself while trying to give a bump to the car ahead.

Lap 72 #143 is charged with secondary contact as he stayed in the gas until he realized he wasn't going to make it through the wreck.


I'll bump this thread when the points have been updated. It was a clean, but quiet race. Thursdays are supposed to be about fun, hard, 3-wide racing. The only exciting moments in this race were the couple of laps where the field was jumbled up during the pit stop sequences. Let's give the broadcasters something worth covering next week, please.

Race 15 12/15/16

Lap 11 #99 blows a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 15 #143 wrecks into #25 under caution; #143 parked.

Lap 23 While 4-wide, #43 bumps #72 coming off of turn 2. Incident on #43.

Lap 36 Several cars in the high line are tucked up the tailpipe of the car ahead of them entering turn 3. This caused a chain reaction when someone finally checked up and the inevitable wreck occurred. These are wrecks we should be smart enough to avoid. This is just over-aggressive driving. Next season this is going to be policed much more harshly.

Lap 41 #428 moves down in to #44's lane and causes an incident; #428 parked.
