Race 3- 2/7/13


Lap 14- #11 into #66; #11 EOLL.

Lap 31- #00 into #36; #00 EOLL. Also, #27 is given a warning for driving into a wreck and causing an incident.

Lap 43- #01 into #78; #01 EOLL.

Lap 51- #01 and #66 make contact bringing out a caution. I am calling this a "racin' deal."


Please be aware when a wreck happens in front of you. We don't need extra cars wrecked during an incident because other drivers didn't slow down for the initial wreck. Also, if you are EOLL, make sure you are within 3 cars of the back. I will start calling incidents and black flags for these 2 issues. Hasn't been bad, but we can do better.

Race 4- 2/14/13


Lap 15- #011 and #4 make contact. After review, I am calling this on both drivers. #011 moved up a little as #4 was moving down a little and they made contact with each other; I could not call it on only 1 driver. #4 took EOLL but #011 did not. This is a 1 lap penalty (which had no affect on his final finishing position).
Also, during the 1-to-go lap under caution, #4, #13, and #36 pitted for tires and/or fuel. There is no penalty listed for this infraction, so I am letting it slide this time. From here on out, I will be giving 1 lap penalties for this infraction.

Lap 26- #66 into #88 causing an incident behind them; #66 EOLL.

Lap 47- #36 cuts down on #4 in tri-oval; #36 parked.
On that same lap just before the caution, #71 slowed to pit while still on the racing surface. This caused #00 to drive thru the grass to avoid him. Had this caused a wreck or caused someone to get a black flag, #71 would have been penalized 1 lap. However, no wreck or black flag came out, so #71 gets a warning for unsafe pit entrance.

Lap 57- #28 into #66; #28 parked.

Race 5- 2/21/13


Lap 14- #01 into #99; #01 EOLL. On lap 15, there was an incident in the pits. This was a racing deal as 2 cars were side-by-side when another car pulled out of his pits and contact was made. No incident charged in this incident.

Lap 34- #62 into #37; #62 EOLL.

Lap 48- #01 into #13; #01 parked.

Lap 60- #27 into #78; #27 EOLL.

Lap 66- #62 into #78.


* Penalties- #01 and #62 are on a 1-and-park-it next race. #62 is also given a warning for over-aggressive driving.

* Next week's race will have an eye in the sky.

Race 6- 2/28/13


Lap 3- #30 and #118 make contact and cause and incident. #30 parked and #118 took EOLL. I am calling this incident on both drivers.

Lap 24- #11 goes from middle to low line. #40 slows quickly and is hit by #71. After review, I am calling this incident on #11 and #40. While #11 merged into a lane unsafely, #40 appeared to have enough distance where braking hard was not required. #11 parked but #40 did not EOLL. Not taking EOLL is a 1 lap penalty, but #40's final finishing position was not affected by this.

Lap 38- #78 blows motor; no incident charged.


* Penalties- #01 and #62 are on a 1-and-park-it for their next race.

Race 7- 03/07/13


Lap 6: #710 Manny D bumps #84, then brakes from 188mph to 178 mph checking up trucks behind him causing incident.
#710 did not go EOLL and will receive post race penalty.

Lap 27: #84 Jon Van Gorder gives the #73 a bad bump shooting him up the track into the #33 and #1.

Lap 48: #011 Ron Larkin Sr. attempting to pit runs up on #88 and swerves back up into the racing line causing the #710 to spin.
#011 did not go EOLL and will receive a post race penalty.

Lap 59: #78 Mike Calder runs into the back of #88 causing a chain reaction.

Restart on lap 64: #83 Dave Little will be givin a warning for attempting to pass before the start/finish line on a restart. His finishing position will stand.




Remember guys, if you think that there is ANY way an incident is yours. It is in your best interest to go EOLL. Just because someone says it might be their incident, that doesn't mean it relieves you of fault when we review the replay.

Race 8- 3/14/13


Lap 42- #011 gives bad bump and loses control bumping #003 and #118; #011 EOLL.

Lap 49- #33 cuts across nose of #011; #33 EOLL.

Lap 59- #86 and #053 involved in incident. It went to the replay committee where it was called on #053. #053 served an EOLL.

Lap 66- #088, #99, and #83 all collide while 3 wide coming to the checkers. #99 took it 3-wide heading into tri-oval. After review, I am calling this a "racin' deal." While it was a risky move, there was room for #99 to split the middle. Had it been earlier in the race, the incident would have been called on #99 for driving too aggressively, but given the fact we were coming to the checkers and there was just enough room, this was just hard racing.

Race 10- 3/28/13


Lap 12- #95 warps into #19; #95 parked.

Lap 25- #102 gets into #40; #102 EOLL.

Lap 65- after review, we called this a racing deal. There was no communication and that was the cause of the caution. It appeared everyone tried to make room for everyone at the last second but it was too late. No penalties issued.

Tim Noftsker (points leader)
