Lap 3 #77 cuts across the nose of #90; #77 served his penalty.

Lap 13 #87 drifts up into #77; #87 served his penalty.

Lap 22 #99 drifts up into #143; #99 served his penalty.

Lap 43 A big accordion effect causes several cars to get into each other. After multiple reviews from different angles, I'm calling this a "racin' deal".

Lap 64 #14 cuts across the nose of #39; #14 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.


We need to do a better job on slowing for wrecks. When a wreck occurs ahead of you, your first and only thought should be how to avoid that wreck; NOT how many positions you can pick up if you drive through it faster than everyone else around you. There were some borderline attempts at slowing. We need to do better.

Lap 6 #74 clips #6; #74 served his penalty.

Lap 33 #14 and #8 push #26 into #71. Incident on both #14 and #8. #14 was on a 1-and-park but continued in the race, so his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked for next week. #8 served his penalty.
ALSO, #102 and #24 are also charged with secondary incidents during this wreck.

Lap 65 #14 moves down into #74. This is #14's second incident while being on a 1-and-park, so he is parked for the next two races.
ALSO, #33 is charged an incident for entering the track before getting up to speed and causing an accident.

Lap 7 #80 touches the apron in turn 3, but #141 (#710) was well underneath the dashed lines in #80's lane when they made contact, so the incident is charged to #141 (#710); he did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 14 Debris caution; no incident charged.

Lap 37 #77 gets into #10 on pit lane, but #77 had #67 to his outside and started to move to the right lane when he realized he was clear. Unfortunately, contact was made w/ #10 as #77 was still moving to the outside lane. Because #77 had a car to his outside, there is no penalty for contact while riding on the inside/merge lane. This will be considered a racin' deal.


Great race, great finish! Good job drivers!

Lap 19 #003 gets into #99 while entering the pits; the yellow did not come out so #003 correctly served his penalty by doing a drive-through on the next lap.

Lap 65 #18 gives a bad bump to #10 which sends him spinning. #18 retired so there is no need to penalize a lap.

Lap 9 #2 gets into the back of #43; #2 retired. ALSO while #003 warped, the contact between him and #10 did not result in damage, so no incident is charged.

Lap 19 #143 mis-judges the entry to turn 1 and has to back off over 10 mph, resulting in #96 hitting him from behind. Incident charged to #143 who served his penalty.

Lap 29 #115 gives a bad bump to #43; #115 served his penalty.

Lap 33 #143 and #74 get into each other. Both were fighting over the same area of real estate. #143 was the lowest car in the high line, and #74 was the highest car in the middle line, so I'm calling this incident on both drivers. This was #143's second incident and #74 was on a 1-and-park. Neither parked so both will have scoring stopped on this lap and both will be ineligible for next week's race.

Lap 66 #43 starts to run out of gas in turn 4, causing a check-up and wreck behind him. This is an incident on #43. Scoring will be -1 lap.

Lap 9 a bump gets a couple cars sideways and they make incredible saves. The check-ups went all the way to the back of the field before a wreck happened. Everyone involved made a legitimate effort to avoid a wreck so I cannot pin this on any particular driver. This will be marked down as a "racin' deal".

Lap 27 #43 drifts high off turn 2 and gets into #088. #43 parked as he was on a 1-and-park.

Lap 43 #21 blown motor; no incident charged.

Lap 58 #4 gives a bad bump and gets bumper-hooked, starting a wreck. #4 served his penalty.

Lap 63 #77 is barely clear of #088, but as #77 moves down in front of him, #088 gets a bump, so when #77 moves down, they make contact. #088 is pushed off the racing surface. #90 then had to decide whether to keep in the throttle and allow room for #088 to move back into the low lane, OR back out of the gas and risk causing a check-up wreck behind him. Basically, #90 was given no good option, so I cannot call this wreck on him. As for #77, I can't put the wreck on him as his contact w/ #088 did not cause an incident; rather it happened after #088 got back on the track in a 4-wide situation. Obviously #088 is not at fault either. This will also have to go down as a 'racin' deal" due to hard racing and not intentional lane bullying or over-aggressiveness.

Lap #7 The #71 checks up going into the trioval causing a chain reaction. This is a “racing deal”

Lap #11 The #26 has a technical issue causing a wreck. Penalty served correctly.

Lap #32 During pit stops, the #99 starts slowing in turn 4. The #18 goes high to avoid him and attempts to pit from the middle lane. He is hit by the #143 causing a wreck. Incident on the #99 for slowing on the racing surface. The #99 didn't serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standing.
UPDATE After further review, this incident is being called a "racing deal"
No penalties will be assessed.

Lap #1 #26 switched lanes prior to the tri-oval and the #14 bumped #24 into #26. I am marking this is a "racin' deal" as the lead car moved early enough and the two trailing cars attempted to slow but were unsuccessful. No incident charged and the race was restarted.

Lap #12 #80 bumper-hooks himself off the car ahead, causing an incident. #80 served his penalty.

Lap #42 #90 gets into #43, but after further review, the low line was pushing up while the high lane was more than a lane away from the way, essentially squeezing the middle lane. I'm calling this a "racin' deal" as #90 ran out of room, but we need to do a better job giving room, especially in the turns.

Lap #61 #99 gets to close to #80 in the turn and bumper-hooks him, causing an incident. #99 served his penalty.

Lap #12 A check-up in turn 1 results in the accordion effect and then #80 wrecking while trying to avoid the check-up. The check-up was over 10 mph and #80 did slow prior to any contact, so I have to call this a "racin' deal".

Lap #24 #75 gets into #143 during a minor check-up. #75 served his penalty.

Lap #31 #72 pushes up into #77; #72 served his penalty.

Lap #62 #71 bumps off a car in the middle lane and then gets into the wall. Then he comes down in front of cars at full speed and gets spun. Incident on #71 who served his penalty.

Lap 13 Coming out of the tri-oval, #75 and #8 have their bumpers touch and it hooks #8. #8 was not trying to bump draft and #75 was just running his line. I have to call this a "racin' deal".

Lap 36 #67 is pitting from the middle lane and slows down before exiting the racing surface. He is hit by #14. Per the rules, #67 is charged the incident due to pitting before exiting the racing surface and causing an incident. #67 didn't serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 64 #69 and #77 get together. Because #69 won the race, we called for any drivers in the race not involved to review the incident to remove any perceived bias. The drivers called the incident on #77. #77 is scored EOLL.


Next week starts the 5-race TallyChase. The points have been reset to 700 points (plus 5 points for each win) for each of the 12 drivers that made it. From this point on, it's simply a 5 race 'season'. Points will be scored the same way they are every other week. Good luck!
