TallyChallenge Series Incident Reports Season 43

Lap 59 #39 blows a motor; no incident charged. ALSO, there was a wreck racing back to the yellow. #18/#77 is charged an incident for moving down on #43, and #14 is charged with a secondary incident. #18 served his penalty and 14 retired.

Lap 65 #90 and #8 make contact. #8 was trying to get around the #80 who was experiencing a connection issue. I'm not penalizing the #8 or #90 as the root cause of this was drivers trying to get around a warping car. From here on out, if you know you have a warp issue, or if two or more people tell you your car is warping, you must get out of the way of the other cars ASAP. If that means pulling off the track or down pit road, so be it.

Lap 19 #74 gets into #08 while entering the pits. The yellow would come out for a separate incident before #74 could serve his penalty under green. After the yellow came out, the penalty was now a 4 tire pit stop on the second caution lap or later which was not served. #74 is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 21 #428 spins while exiting the pits to bring out a caution; #428 served his penalty.

Lap 30 #428 blows a motor; no incident charged.


No on-track wrecks. Great job by all!

Lap 26 #77 warps and causes an accident; #77 served his penalty.

Lap 48 #14 gets into #2 while entering the pits; the green flag stayed out so the penalty was a drive-through penalty the following lap which #14 served.

Lap 64 During a check-up #08 gets into the back of #72. After review, it was determined there was enough time to slow and avoid contact so an incident is charged to #08. #08 did not serve a drive through so the penalty is -1 lap.

Great race all! The racing has been FANTASTIC these first few weeks!

Lap 3 #10 gets into #27 during a check-up. The check-up got worse the further back it went, and #10 had little to no time to slow 13 mph to avoid contact. Because of how big of a check-up it was, I'm calling this a racin' deal.

Lap 22 #71 warps and it causes a wreck; #71 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap.

Lap 28 #4 gives a bump to #77 which pushes him into #428, causing #428 to spin. #4 served his penalty.

Lap 53 #08 blows his motor; no incident charged.

Lap 62 #24 gets into the back of #77; #24 served his penalty.

Lap 65 #4 gets into the back of #712 on the restart. #712 received damage in the prior incident and did not know his car was that off-pace. Right before he gets hit by #4, he starts to move out of the way, but it's too late and #4 hits him. Because #712 had just been in the prior incident and tried to move out of the way, I can't call this incident on him. And I can't blame #4 for hitting a guy without prior warning he is way off the pace. I'm calling this wreck a racin' deal.

Lap 3 #96 turns down into #712; incident on #96 and race was restarted.

Lap 13 A check-up causes a wreck but no caution comes out. I am calling this a "racin' deal."

Lap 19 #43 and #74 get make contact with other cars while pitting, sending them into the grass. These are considered incidents. Neither driver served a drive-through penalty and are docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 57 #74 gets into #39 while pitting; #74 retired.

Lap 2 A massive check-up causes #10 to get into the back of #17. Both drivers did their best to avoid contact. This is a "racin' deal." The race was restarted.

Lap 56 #18 gets into the back of #102 while pitting; #18 served his penalty.

Lap 65 #27 moves down into #712 which causes an incident; #27 retired.

Lap 66 #5 starts to run out of fuel coming into the tri-oval. This causes #71 to get into him and crash. While that happens, cars scatter and another wreck occurs. This wreck was due to the #71 spinning, so no penalty for the second incident will be given. #5 is scored EOLL.

Lap 37 #088 gets into #17 while coming in to pit; #088 served a drive-through on the following lap.

Lap 45 #96 warps and gets wrecked, bringing out a yellow; #96 served his penalty.

Lap 66 #77 gets a bad bump and has to recover and back on the racing surface before entering turn 3. As he does this, #72 bumps #044 which starts a wreck. After a long review, I'm calling this a "racin' deal". While #72 did move up and clip #044, he was giving room to the low lane and was still well within the middle lane; not jumping into the high-lane's territory. Because of this, I can't assign blame to any driver.

Lap 21 #428 bumper-hooks himself off the car he is pushing; #428 served his penalty.

Lap 43 #115 causes an incident while heading to pit road; #115 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 59 An accordion effect happens entering turn 1, resulting in #90 and #10 making contact, causing an incident. Neither driver did anything wrong and both were trying to avoid contact. I have to call this a "racin' deal."

Lap 66 #8 makes a block and a wreck happens behind. While #8 moved down in time to get ahead of #14, it caused #14 to back out of the gas slightly. #17 then gets into the back of #14, which causes #14 to check up a second time. After that, the wreck is unavoidable. I have to put this incident on the #8. While moved down to block barely before #14 was along side, the move caused the check-ups and eventual wreck. Per the rules, blocking is perfectly legal, but if it results in an incident where the other drivers made a legitimate effort to slow down, the incident goes on the driver who threw the block.

Lap 13 #18 comes down on #333/#85; #18 served his penalty.

Lap 36 #428 gets into #39 while entering the pits. #428 served his penalty during the next caution which came out before he could pit again.

Lap 40 #10 blows a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 58 An accordion effect happens on the low side and the check-ups eventually cause a wreck around mid-park. I'm calling this a "racin' deal". At the same time, 15 drivers in a row trying to bump draft is a really bad idea and causes these wrecks. If you aren't in the top 3 spots, don't push the guy ahead of you into the car ahead of him.

Lap 66 #710 starts to run out of fuel exiting turn 4. His speed drops 3 mph and #71 bumper hooks himself off the back of him. While #710 had not slowed drastically, it is the responsibility of the car running out of fuel to get out of the way immediately when they start to lose mph. Incident on #710.

Lap 10 #35 comes down on #428; #35 served his penalty.

Lap 16 There is a check-up in turn 1 and cars go 4-wide and make contact exiting the turn. While the inside car drifted up exiting the turn, there was enough room to make it through cleanly for the other 3 cars. The contact was made trying to give room to each other. I have to chalk this up as a racin' deal.

Lap 21 #088 warps and causes a wreck; #088 retired.

Lap 43 #6 and #25 get into other cars entering the pits and cause separate accidents. #25 served his penalty but #6 did not and is docked a lap in the final standings.

Lap 65 #8 spins #43 while trying to give him a push; #8 served his penalty.
