Lap 35 #72 blows a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 52 #44 warps into #143 to cause a wreck; #44 served his penalty. While racing back, #14 gives a bump to #69 which causes him to give a bad bump to the car ahead. As #69 checks up, #14 taps him again causing a second wreck. #14 also served his penalty.

Lap 66 #39 and #26 are pushing each other into #18. Because two admins were involved, I called for a post-race Drivers review. While they called it a "racin' deal", I checked the replay today and realized I was still in the gas when I bumper-hooked myself off the #18 car. I've put this incident on myself and scored myself EOLL.


I HATE seeing that race end with a wreck. That was an INCREDIBLE race!

Lap 20 #8 makes contact with #71 while entering the pits. The contact causes a check-up and eventually cars are 5-wide on pit road. #14 gets into the back of #43 during this time. I cannot call this an incident as #14 had two other cars on his right side and couldn't avoid the contact.

Lap 40 #143 gets into the back of #69 while pitting, but #69 managed to save it without hardly any time, nor was any damage done to the #69 car. No incident charged. Also in the pits, #39 got into #143 while they were both entering the their pit boxes. No incident charged as #39 was in the right-hand lane on pit road until he turned to pit. This was an unfortunate incident that occurs on pit road and has always been called as a "racin' deal".


NO CAUTIONS! Even the troubles on pit road didn't rise to the level of rise to the level of incidents. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Lap 19 #67 starts to slow exiting turn 4 while in the high line to pit, but gets bumped by #77, starting an incident. Incident charged to #67 who did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 20 #69 bumps and spins #143 while entering pit road; #69 retired.

Lap 38 #43 starts to slow to pit before he is off the racing surface and gets spun from behind. Per the rules, the trailing car is not charged an incident if the contact happens while still on the racing surface, so no incident is charged.

Lap 46 This was a tough one. While #088 gave #102 just before entering turn 3, it seems to me that #102 had enough time to crack the throttle before getting into #77. #102 was put into a tough situation but I have to put this incident on him. He did serve his penalty.

Lap 70 This was a debris caution, but there was another incident coming to the Start/Finish line. #088 was getting up to speed on his out lap and then came down in front of faster cars, causing a check-up and wreck. #088 did not serve his drive-through and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 76 #712 is 5mph faster when he gives #77 a bump draft entering turn 3. If #77 stays directly behind #24 and hits him with that speed differential AND as they are entering the turn, there is no way everyone doesn't wreck. #77 appears to cut it down low and lets out of the gas, but he still slides up into #088. Normally hitting the apron and sliding up is an automatic incident on the driver who hits the apron, but the huge bump draft left #77 with no good options. Incident charged to #712 and is scored EOLL.

Lap 9 #44 warps into multiple cars to bring out a caution; #44 parked.

Lap 32 #088 loses control while entering pit road and gets into #102. #088 parked as he was on a 1-and-park.

Lap 33 #33 gives a bad bump to #24 and they both spin, bringing out the caution. #33 served his penalty.

Lap 42 #17 gets under #72 on the backstretch, but he backs out of the throttle at the entry to turn 3. #72 DOES give him enough room, but they made their decisions at the same time. The check-up results in a wreck. Because this was a check-up to avoid contact, I'm going to call this as a "racin' deal"

Lap 56 #102 gets into the cars ahead of him while heading into the pits; #102 parked as he was on a 1-and-park.
