Some good racing in front of me.

Congrats to Rob on the win.

#2

Started 17th, had a good start and missed a stalled Cameron Bullard. That was the last of my good fortune.

I’m done for the weekend. No sense risking my car in this crazy shit while I’m so far down on torque.

Cameron, you really suck on standing starts. Awesome driving though…

Steve, that just sucks!!!

#7

Wow! Crap! Wow!

That’s what I am saying’ while I watch these videos. First thanks guys for posting.

Steve what exactly do you mean by “crazy s***”? driving, conditions, drivers. Sorry you will not complete the weekend. Lots of money and time spent not to finish and have fun. Saw you got punted Thursday. I’m sure the guy didn’t mean it but wreaks your day all the same. (edit: ok I see, just watched your video, I hope the guy had a mechanical and wasn’t really thinkin’ he could make that… Sorry Steve)

Bullard I thought you were going to break the shifter off when you grabbed it with both hands. I was laughin’ my head off sorry. You are a real sport to show us that. 2nd to last in one missed shift. Sorry but I do know the feeling.

I think I saw Lauren spinning in one of the videos. I do recognize him when he is pointed sideways or backwards. :wink:

Remember boys tomorrow is a much longer race. A lot can happen. Have fun and please be safe!

Go Juice Boy! Get to front Duck boy! Matt make your dad proud. JT beat your kid and show him to get it done!

I’m starting mid pack somewhere I think. If I can get 2nd to go into gear off the start I’m still feeling pretty good about the race. The car feels good. Gagliardo and I got down in the 43’s during qualifying.

Sorry about your bad “luck”. Did your motor get damaged to cause you to be down on torque? Thanks again to everyone for the videos.

Obviously I didn’t mean to hit Steve. You can watch my video to see my perspective, I posted it already. I tried to slow when I saw he was going to close the line I taped his rear, my fault.

Here is my Q2 video.

Simon I was referring to the Friday race where he got hit. I did watch your Thursday race I did not see ill intent. Did not mean it to sound that way. My edited comment was referring to Friday though, which I don’t think was you.

Also please understand my comments are not passing judgement on anyone I was not there clearly and in the heat of battle things look and are different then they appear to us Monday quarterbacks watching the tapes.
