Lap 19 #64 hooks #428; #64 served his penalty.


One caution and NO pit road incidents! This might have been the cleanest race we've ever run! Great job everyone!

Lap 7 #74 blows a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 28 #90 starts to do a half spin upon entering pit road and slides down and clips #17. This results in a stack-up on pit road in which several cars would lose the lead draft. #90 did not serve a drive through and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 47 #143 and #33 get together while getting onto pit road. Both cars were essentially at fault as #33 moved up and #143 was over the speed limit from the pit-speed line through the moment of contact. But because no other driver was impacted by this and no yellow came out, it is considered a non-call. Had any other driver been affected, it would be an incident on both, but because nobody else was involved, no incident is charged.

Lap 54 #14 taps #26 in turn one, then slows down slightly and moves up the track to give #26 room. This caused a check-up and wreck behind them. Incident charged to #14 who served his penalty.

Lap 55 #26 slows after taking the caution, but #14 gets into the back of him. #14 DID start to slow, but #26 slowed a little more quickly. This is a by-product of racing back to the caution. A little more communication on TS or spreading out sooner would have helped prevent this. I am calling this a "racin' deal" as nobody did anything wrong; it was wrong place at the wrong time.

Lap 63 A check-up in the middle of the pack results in #33 getting into the back of #17. Because the check-up wasn't a result of someone pushing in the turns and nothing more than tight quarters racing at the end of the race, I have to call this a "racin' deal" as well since the check-up was too big for #33 to have any chance of avoiding the car ahead.

Lap 63 #44 slides up and clips #18 to send him spinning; #44 served his penalty.

Lap 18 #17 loses control while heading into the pits and it causes an incident; the yellow didn't come out so #17 served his penalty correctly with a drive-through on the following lap.

Lap 19 #115 and #31 cause incidents while heading into the pits; neither served their penalties and are docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 24 #31 slides up and clips #72; this was #31's second incident but he did not park. Per the rules, his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked for the next race.

Lap 41 #2 gives a bad bump to #07; #2 served his penalty.

Lap 47 #74 gets into #088; #74 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 54 #33 and #6 get together. While #33 moved up the track a little bit, he was directly behind the other cars in the middle line while #6 was more than a half car below the other cars in the high line. #6 served his penalty.

Lap 63 #31 slides up and clips #71. This was #31's third incident of the race. Per the rules, the driver is parked for 2 weeks in this series.

Lap 63 There was a lot of secondary contact during this wreck. While I am not charging any incidents for this as car were scattered throughout the backstretch with some still spinning and some trying to get turned around, there were several drivers who gave poor efforts to avoid contact. Had the backstretch not been a mess with moving and stationary cars, it would have been really easy to pin MULTIPLE drivers with secondary contract. DO NOT USE WRECKS OR THE END OF A RACE TO TRY AND JUSTIFY RUNNING INTO CARS WHO HAVE ALREADY WRECKED. The first goal should always be to get through the wreck cleanly. If you pick up spots, that is an added bonus; it should not be the top priority.
ALSO, coming to the yellow flag to finish the race, #77 bumps #43 in turn three to send him up the track. After reviewing it further, #77 got a bump just before entering the turn and he slid up the track a little bit. I see this as hard racing with no intention to move a driver out of the way. No incident or warning is warranted.

The points will be updated this weekend.

Lap 18 #2 slows to pit and #028 moves to avoid him and hits #18. The rules state that if you slow on the racing surface to pit and it causes a wreck, the driver who slowed will be charged w/ the incident. However, if the pitting cars announces he is pitting, and if the trailing driver is multiple car lengths back and has enough room to avoid contact, it will go on the trailing driver. In most instances, this situation doesn't occur. Had the trailing driver not had enough time or enough room to avoid the slowing car, then it WOULD have gone on #2. But as it stands in this particular situation, it goes on #028 who served his penalty.

Lap 30 #6 has a pedal issue which causes a wreck; #6 parked as he was on a 1-and-park it.

Lap 33 While under yellow, #2 gets into #80 and causes damage to the #80 car. This is considered an incident and #2 parked as he was on a 1-and-park it.

Lap 43 #72 clips #74 to cause a wreck; #72 served his penalty.

Lap 52 #80 warps into #39; #80 served his penalty.

Lap 57 #74 gives a bad bump to #24; #74 retired.

Lap 64 #43 warps and it causes a wreck; he served his penalty.

Remember next week is our finale, which is a broadcast race. Every driver who plans to race needs to be here BEFORE 8:30pm EST or risk losing your spot in the race. The roster will go according to points. Even if you aren't in the top 38, there is a very good chance to make the race if you show up. While we won't be accepting any drivers who haven't raced in the series this season, we will allow owners and admins the opportunity to join if there is still room in the server.

DNQ's: All drivers are allowed to qualify as it is a broadcast race

Lap 17 A big check-up causes a wreck. While there was an over-reaction to the check-up, it's easy to second guess that reaction after the fact. No incidents charged; "racin' deal."

Lap 40 #46 spins as he enters pit road and collects a few cars in the process. #46 was issued a 30 second penalty on pit road, his crew refused to service the car. It cost him 3 laps, so this is considered penalty served.

Lap 59 #77 bumps and spins #14 coming off of pit road. After a long review, I'm reserved to call this a "racin' deal" as #14 did not get up to speed nearly as quick as the drivers around him. #77 did let off the throttle when he realized #14 was off pace, but it was too late. No incident charged. In the future, this is something we should be able to avoid. That section of the track is VERY wide. We need to use the available track to avoid contact like this.

Lap 71 #26 gives a bad bump to #77; #26 served his penalty.

Lap 76 #6 pushes #43 multiple times on the backstretch. #43 was the fifth car in the line, so he had nowhere to go. Entering turn three, #44 checks up, causing a chain reaction. Incident charged to #6 as he put #44 and #43 into a position where they had to lift.

Lap 76 #141 finds a whole between the low and middle lane, but he slides up the track just a bit and gets into #80. #141 charged w/ the incident.

Lap 76 #141 moves down to block #69 but #69 was already there. The contact sent them both into the grass and then back up on the track to cause the THIRD wreck of this lap. #141 charged with the incident.

A BIG congrats to Bob Seminara on a DOMINANT championship run. It will be tough for anyone to match that kind of season. Congrats as well to Brian Schilling on yet another Bracket Series championship too.

And thanks to ALL of the drivers who supported the series. Except for that last lap, it was a clean, competitive race. We aren't doing knockout quals, and that's MORE than fine by me as long as the racing is clean, green, and competitive.

And good luck to the drivers in tomorrow's All-Star race. For everyone else, we will see you next Thursday to start a whole new season!
