Lap 10 #39 gets into #74. #39 only took 2 tires but was the second-to-last car in line on the restart. This has always been considered 'penalty served.'

Lap 18 #81 checks up and #25 gets into the back of him. The checkup was unexpected as there was no car ahead of #81, so it obviously caught #25 by surprise. #81 (a new driver) was trying to do the right thing and keep his car from drifting up. Also, #25 did slow prior to contact. Given all of these factors, I'm marking this a "racin' deal."

Lap 41 #25 gets into multiple cars while coming to pit road; #25 retired.

Lap 44 #43 loses a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 58 #2 gives a bad bump to #26; #2 served his penalty.

Lap 63 #07 and #69 get into each other. After reviewing from multiple angles, I have to call this on both drivers. Scoring will be EOLL.

Lap #18 The #2 hits the #6 on pit road entry. #2 was on a 1 and park and retired.

Lap #19 The #25 spins coming onto pit road causing an incident. The #25 was on a 1 & park and did not serve his penalty, therefore his scoring is stopped on this lap. The #25 is parked for the next race and is on a 1 & park for week.

Lap #33 The #46 bumper hooks the #95 causing an incident. #46 correctly served his penalty

Lap #43 The #71 pushes the #74 through the trioval causing a wreck. Incident on the #71 penalty served. The #63 is issued a careless driving warning for not slowing down for the wreck. Warning first offense.

Lap #55 The #4 and the #088 try to go low on the #63 running into him. Incident charged on the #4 and #088. #088 retired. #4 correctly served.
Protest received by #4 Sat 6/10
Replay Review vote 3-2 incident declared Racing Deal, Penalty remains as is

Lap #55 - 2ndary incident(s)
The #46 is charged with racing into a wreck. The #46 retired. (1 & Park)
Coming to the yellow, the #428 glances off the #99 causing the #428 to slow down and gets hit from behind by the #6. The #428 correctly served penalty.

Lap #64 The #90 and #74 are going for the same place on the track. This is a "racing deal."

Lap 19 The #43 Richard Martin loses control when entering the pits under green flag conditions collecting the #90. The #43 correctly served his penalty. (Just a note on this, the #43 stopped in his pit stall which is only required when an incident results in a caution coming out. Incidents that don't bring out a caution only require the driver to do a drive through)


Lap 52 The #72 Jim Gloude bumper hooks the #26 spinning him. The #26 came down to attempt to get in line but leveled off parallel to the dashed line leaving room for the #72. The #72 carried his momentum into the left rear quarter of the #26. The #72 did not serve his penalty and will be penalized post race.


Lap 64 While entering turn 3, the #77 undercuts the #18 forcing a 4 wide situation. What the #77 did is perfectly legal given the fact that there was plenty of room. The #18 moved up door to door with the #72 who had the #31 moving down a bit to take his entry probably not know it was a 4 wide situation at that time. After much time and multiple admin reviews, we really couldn't find anything that any one driver did that caused the incident. Just great hard racing. This incident will be scored as a "Racin Deal"

GREAT RACE EVERYONE!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO BRIAN HOAG ON HIS FIRST TALLY CHALLENGE WIN!!!!!!

Lap 11 Three of the TallyChallenge admins were involved in this wreck, so we had other RTG admins review it. The incident was called on #90 who served his penalty.


Lap 47 #428 moves down on #10; #428 served his penalty.


Lap 57 #77 moves up into #428's lane exiting turn two and they hit each other. Even though #428 moved down, this was already his lane and he is allowed a half car length of leeway, so I am putting this on #77;
#77 served his penalty.

Lap 64 #18 moves up and clips #428; #18 served his penalty

Lap 19 #710 and #33 pit from the middle lane. #80 goes underneath them to avoid contact and then hits #26. #710 and #33 are charged w/ the incident. #710 retired and #33 served his penalty.


Lap 35 While 4-wide, #74 and #115 make contact. It's unclear from my replay whether #115 moved down or if #74 clipped him. Either way, it was very tight racing. I can't make a call when I can't determine who was at fault; hence it will be called a "racin' deal."


Lap 56 #43 gets into the back of #74 during a check-up. The check-up was over 10mph and #43 had little chance to react. Once again, I have to call this a "racin' deal."


Next week is Race #10, the last chance to make the TallyChase! The racing intensity has REALLY picked up the last 2 weeks. Just remember, when making a block or an aggressive move, make sure you are doing it cleanly and be aware that if you make the move too late and cause a wreck, it will be your incident. Also, if you are the one getting blocked, that isn't a free ticket to ram the guy to let them know you didn't approve of their move.
Blocking IS legal, but you do it at your own risk.

I apologize for getting this done so late. I lost power as I was originally working on this Friday and was out of town most of yesterday.


Lap 1 #5 gets into the back of #6 in the tri-oval; race was re-started.


Lap 7 #43 cuts across the nose of #118; #43 served his penalty.


Lap 16 #028 clips #141 exiting turn two; #028 served his penalty.


Lap 38 #77 spins while coming to the pits and collects other cars; #77 served his drive-through on the following lap. There was also contact between #80 and #6, but after reviewing it at length, this is a "racin' deal" as both cars slowing for the pits and the wreck itself. If #80 and #6 not made contact, they both would have been caught up in the initial wreck anyway. Had #6 been out of control or was trying to hot pit at the time of contact, I would consider this an incident, but that was not the case.


Lap 66 #69 bumper-hooks off #14 coming to the tri-oval. #14 peaked low and then moved back up in line and #69 got hooked. #69 was pushing from the exit of turn four up until he spun. Because no other cars were affected, and because they were coming to the checkered flag (it didn't cause any extra caution laps), I am calling this a "racin' deal." IF other cars had been collected, or if we would have gone back green, then this WOULD have been considered an incident. Neither driver is no more to blame than the other.


The Chase starts this week! A BIG congrats to Chuck McClure as well. He needed a win and a ton of luck to make it into the Chase, and he got both this race, making it in the Chase by 2 points!

Lap 19 #25 pits from middle lane but does not get off the racing surface before getting hit by a trailing car; incident on #25 who served his penalty.


Lap 27 #428 blows a motor; no penalty charged.


Lap 48 #90 pits but does not get off the racing surface before getting hit by a trailing car; #90 didn't serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.


Lap 56 #43 blows a motor; no incident charged.


Lap 65 During a major check-up, #71 gets into the back of #710. I have to call this a "racin' deal" as guys were trying to give room instead of take it from each other and it just caused a massive check-up where a wreck was inevitable. No incident charged.


This was a GREAT race, but the pit stops are killing us. We need to get better at communicating, and also at anticipating. If you see/hear a dozen people say they are pitting, and you are in the middle or back of the pack AND in the low lane, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the low lane is going get treacherous at the exit of turn 4. For the last several weeks, I've been seeing people driving as if they are totally oblivious to this fact and running over each other. Yes, it is the responsibility of those who are pitting to get off the racing surface as soon as possible, but if the drivers who are NOT pitting seem to ignore or disregard the message in text chat and TS that say "I'm pitting", then we end up with yellow flags and damaged cars every 20 laps. I still think it's much safer having two lanes available to pit from instead of requiring EVERY driver move to the low lane or not allowing him to pit at all.

Lap 20 #21 gets loose exiting pit road and collects #25; #21 served his penalty.


Lap 32 #43 gets a bad bump from #44. As #44 checks up slightly, #712 bumps #44 back into #43 which then causes a wreck. #712 did check up, but didn't have enough time to avoid bumping #44. Because of this, I have to put this incident on #44 as it was his bump that displaced #43. While it was a clean and safe bump, it did still move #43. And as we've always said, bumping is completely legal on the straightaways but always done at your own risk. #44 retired.


Lap 41 #5 blown motor; no incident charged.


Lap 56 #67 bumps and spins #6 while entering pit road. While #67 did not correctly serve his penalty, the game did give him a 30 second penalty. I will consider that penalty served.


Another hell of a race. A few hiccups with pitting, but it was A LOT better this race. For the second race in a row, we had 30+ drivers and only 1 true wreck on the track. All of you are making the incident reports easier, and it's very much appreciated!

Lap 13 #86 gives a bad bump to #04 coming out of the tri-oval; #86 served his penalty.


Lap 35 #72 gets into the back of #6 while entering the pits. #72 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.


Lap 53 #99 gets into the back of #90 while entering the pits; #99 served his penalty.


Another clean night of on-track racing. Once we get these pit stops figured out, the only DNF's will be blown motors and internet connection failures!

Lap 4 #72 gets into the back of #96 during a check-up. After reviewing it from multiple angles, I cannot pin blame on any particular driver. This will be marked as a "racin' deal" as all drivers involved made a legitimate attempt to avoid contact.


Lap 28 #25 gives a bad bump to #31; #25 served his penalty.


Lap 46 #07 slides up and clips #26; #07 retired.


Lap 60 #5 gives a bad bump to #31; #5 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.
