Season 61 - Tally Challenge Incident Reports

[BONESXLT]

Race 1- 1/4/24


Lap 4- #10 bumper-hooks off of #77. This was deemed a no-call as #10 had no room behind to check up and avoid contact. No incident charged.

Lap 5- #58 is about to pass his pit stall, slows dramatically, and tries to turn into his stall causing a wreck. #58 is charged an incident for this. #58 did not serve a penalty under the caution so he is docked a lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 16- #82 bumper-hooks off the car ahead which leads to a wreck; #82 served his penalty.

Lap 25- #066 gets into the back of #39 causing him to spin; #066 retired.

Lap 26- #9 warps into #000 and causes damage and a wreck; #9 served her penalty.

Lap 33- #007 slides up the track and gets into #000; #007 served his penalty.

Lap 42- #23 clips and spins #26 in the tri-oval; #23 served his penalty.

Lap 48- #6 bumper-hooks #24 which causes a wreck; #6 served his penalty.

Lap 48- #82 is given a warning for Careless Driving for driving in reverse to get back to the caution and hitting another car while doing so. No incident is charged as this did not cause damage, but we do not want drivers going backwards in a rush to get to the S/F line as this can cause more wrecks.

Lap 54- #39 gives a bad bump to #72 which causes a wreck; #39 served his penalty.

Lap 54- #1 and #711 make contact in the tri-oval leading to a second wreck. While #1 touched the apron and then got into #711, the admins felt #1 made a clean move to get under #711 and #711 did not give enough room to #1 after that which then resulted in the wreck. Incident charged to #711 who served his penalty.

Lap 59- #7 spins after moving down into #82. Immediately after that happens, #143 and #007 get together. Both of these were reviewed but no incidents were charged as the yellow did not come out.

Lap 59- #1 bumps and spins #80 coming out of the tri-oval. #1 did not serve his penalty so he is docked a lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 60- #8 hits the wall at the exit of turn four and it sends him into #6 to cause a wreck; #8 served his penalty.

Lap 65- #23 slides up and bumps #17 knocking him out of line. #17 tries to move back down but #43 is already there and a wreck occurs. Incident is charged to both #23 and #17. This was the second incident for #23 so his scoring is stopped on this lap; #17 is scored EOLL. Both #23 and #17 are 1-and-parks for the next race.

Race 2- 1/11/24


Lap 6- Accordion effect check-up causes a wreck; no call.

Lap 12- #58 washes up the track and gets into #5; #58 served.

Lap 16- #28 misses a shift on the restart and crashes; #28 served.

Lap 37- Exiting turn two, #72 lifts slightly and moves down the track. The lift was not needed or expected and #088 bumps him to cause a wreck. Incident charged to #72; #72 served.

Lap 41- #10 bumper-hooks with #31 on the restart; #10 served his penalty.

Lap 42- #72 causes a wreck under caution which results in damage to another driver; #72 is charged the incident and retired. This was his second incident so he is a 1-and-park for his next race.

Lap 52- #7 and #05 make contact in the tri-oval. Incident charged to both drivers as #7 came down and #05 took a high entry. #7 served but #05 did not so he is docked one lap and a DNQ in the final standings.

Lap 65- #088 bumps #17 in turn one and gets him loose; the check-up causes #82 to get into #088 which resulted in a wreck. #088 is charged with the incident; he is scored EOLL and will be a 1-and-park next race.


Post-race penalty- #58 was a DNQ but did not go to the back on the start so he is docked one lap in the final standings.

Post-race penalty- #616 is given a warning for Reckless driving for driving through a wreck at full speed and losing control and wrecking by himself well after taking the caution.


DNQ's (must go to back of field on pace lap): #05

Race 3- 1/18/24


Lap 1- The field does not do a good enough job pacing and an accordion effect causes an accident. No incident charged but drivers should attempt to be 1 car length back on starts and restarts. This gives you some space for check-ups and accordion-effects. ALSO, if the car ahead speeds up, don't simply smash the gas and then slam the brakes once you've caught up again. Easy on and off with the pedals.

Lap 5- A check-up causes #77 to bump and spin #17; this was a no-call as the check-up was too big to avoid contact.

Lap 5- #05 is charged an incident for hitting #17 when #17 slid up the track. This was called an incident because #05 was at the back of the pack and could have slowed for the wreck with no risk of being hit from behind. #05 retired.

Lap 11- #72 slides up in turn one and causes a wreck; #72 retired.

Lap 16- #28 misses a shift and causes a wreck. #28 served his penalty and will be changing his shifting process so this stops happening in the future.

Lap 34- #43 bumper-hooks #77; #43 served his penalty.


DNQ's (must go to back of field on pace lap):
1-and-parks: #72
Parked next race:

1 incident: #1, #6, #7, #007, #8, #9, #10, #17, #39, #43, #066/#71, #82, #088, #711
2 incidents: #05, #23, #28, #58

Race 4- 1/25/24


Lap 9- #616 tries to move from high to middle lane but isn't clear and gets into #1 to start a wreck; #616 charged with the incident and retired.

Lap 21- #54 starts to slow for no reason (wheel/pedal issue?) and it causes a wreck. #54 charged with the incident and served his penalty.

Lap 40- #8 gives #23 a bad bump and causes a wreck; #8 served.

Lap 46- #55 gets wrecked after receiving a bump-draft from behind. #77 and #088 were behind #55; #088 was involved so he was not able to make a call in this incident and another admin was brought in to make a call. After review, the incident was called on #088. While #77 made the contact to wreck #55, the majority opinion was that #77 was pushed into that position by #088 from behind. #088 served his penalty.

Lap 52- #45 blown engine; no incident charged.

Lap 58- #31 blows an engine and a wreck occurs while trying to avoid him. No incident is charged.

Lap 58- #26 is charged an incident for racing into a wreck. Because #26 was at the back of the field and could slow down without risk of being run over, the admins felt there was no need for him to drive into the wreck at that speed and hit another car. #26 served his penalty.

Race 5- 2/1/24


Lap 2- An accordion-effect check-up results with #39 getting into #6 and #35 getting into #029. #39 was not allowed to participate in the call as he was directly involved. The remaining admins reviewed both incidents and decided both were no-calls due to the check-up ahead.

Lap 20- Coming for for a green flag pit stop, #2 spins on pit road entry; #17 and and #088 get into #2 as a result. #088 was not allowed to participate in the call as he was directly involved. The remaining admins reviewed the call and charged #2 with the incident. While #088 does get into #17 and #2, those cars way below the 55 mph pit road speed so contact was inevitable. #2 served his penalty.

Lap 25- Coming in for a green flag pit stop, #27 gets into the inside pit wall and #6 hits #10 directly behind him as a result. Incident was charged to #27; he did not serve a penalty so he is docked one lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 58- Coming in for a green flag pit stop, #55 starts to lose control and comes down into #1, then slides up into #712. Because this contact resulted in #712 losing the draft, this was considered an incident. #55 did not serve so he is docked one lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 58- Coming in for a green flag pit stop, #088 hits the wall and it knocks him across the pit lane entry into other cars; #088 is charged for the incident and served his penalty.

Race 6- 2/8/24


Lap 4- #6 bumper-hooks off the back of #22; #6 served his penalty.

Lap 9- #00 starts to change lanes but stops halfway and checks up slightly; #027 gets into #00 and it causes a wreck. Incident is charged to #00 who served his penalty.

Lap 28- There was a wreck coming into the pits between #80 and #711 on this lap but it was due to an accordion-effect check-up ahead of them; no incident was called here.

Lap 41- #712 was asked to fall to the back of the pack due to internet warp on track; he correctly moved to the back of the field but carried too much speed into turn three and drifted up into #10 which led to a wreck; #712 served his penalty.

Lap 51- #80 gives a bad bump to #82 in the tri-oval which leads to a wreck; #80 did not serve his penalty so he is docked a lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 60- #10 pushes at the exit of turn one and gets into #31; #10 served his penalty.

Race 7- 2/22/24


Lap 5- #7 loses control of his car exiting turn two and gets hit and spun. No other cars were wrecked but several lost the draft. This was considered an incident and #7 served his penalty.

Lap 19- #338 and #029 come into the pits too fast and make contact with #77 and #9 causing them to get black flags for speeding. Since #77 and #9 were not at fault, we cleared those black flags. Nobody was wrecked in this exchange so there are no incidents charged.

Lap 56- #6 gives a bad bump to #43 and spins him; #6 did not serve a penalty so he is docked one lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 66- #10 clips #28 in the tri-oval coming to the checkered flag. #39 also got two tires under the apron trying to avoid contact with #10 so #39 was not allowed to participate in this call. The remaining admins reviewed the wreck and determined this was a no-call; no drivers were charged incidents coming to the checkered flag.

Race 8- 2/29/24


Lap 18- Coming in for green flag pit stops, #55 bumps #43 who then gets into #28 and spins him. #55 is charged an incident for this. He did not serve a penalty so he is docked a lap and a DNQ for the next race.

Lap 44- #711 has an engine failure that causes a caution; no incident charged.

Lap 61- #28 gets into #92 as they approach the tri-oval. This happened during an accordion-effect checkup and this was determined to be a no-call; no incident charged.

Lap 65- Coming to the green flag, the leader #77 goes slightly early and is at 85mph when the green comes out; the pace speed is 70 mph. Per RTG rules, "the race leader must stay +/- 5mph of pace speed and go when the green flag comes out." Again, per RTG rules, #77 is given a post race penalty of one lap.

Race 9- 3/7/24


Lap 10- #7 pushes up from the low to middle lane and makes contact with #22 and #84 which causes a wreck; #7 served his penalty.

Lap 32- #77 gets into #88 during green flag pit stops; #77 served. There was some other contact made entering the pits but these were considered no-calls.

Lap 42- #22 gets into #711 entering the tri-oval and spins him; #22 served his penalty. ALSO, as #711 is getting up to speed, #8 slows down to stay behind #711 as they both just crossed the S/F line. #45 then hits #8. This was not considered an incident due to these cirumstances since we always tell drivers not to slow right after the S/F line; no incident charged.

Lap 60- #10 gets into #23 entering turn three; #10 served his penalty.

Lap 65- #111 and #39 make contact in the tri-oval and it causes a wreck. #39 and #088 were not allowed to make a call on this incident despite #088 not making contact with #39 just prior to the wreck. The other admins reviewed and called the incident on both #39 and #111 as one car was moving up the track while the other was moving down. Both drivers are scored EOLL and will be a 1-and-park next race.

Lap 65- Coming the white and yellow flag, #17 cuts down in front of #712 but isn't clear and it causes a wreck across the S/F line. Because the wreck did not effect the finishing order and because we never went back green, this is considered a no-call. Had the wreck changed the finishing order or if we would have gone back green, this would have been considered an incident. Also, there were a couple of post-race black flags due to cars not getting lined up correctly when they took the checkers; we put those drivers back in their scoring position from the lap prior.

Race 10- 3/14/24


Lap 19- #24 gets into #92 entering the pits; #24 served his penalty.

Lap 37- #712 gets into #28 entering the pits. #28 slowed a little early but was off the racing surface when he was bumped from behind. Incident charged to #712 who served his penalty. This incident was protested and the original call was over-ruled by the Replay Review Committee; this will be changed to a 'no-call'.

Lap 58- #28 gets into #8 entering the pits; #28 served his penalty.

Lap 65- #000 looks like he starts to run out of fuel and begins to slow down and it causes a wreck behind. #000 retired and he will be a 1-and-park next race per RTG rules.
