Anybody else see Skip Bennett in his Ferrari on Speed Channel the other day?

#2

Yeah, I also saw him a get a stop and go with about 1 lap to go for punting a guy;)

#3

What race was it? I DVR’d about 4 races last weekend and haven’t had time to watch any of them.

#4

I think it was the Ferrari Challenge?

#5

I recorded it on my DVR but it got kicked-off before I could save it. Does anyone have a copy? I’ll pay the shipping both ways on a VHS tape.

It was Ferrari Challenge at VIR that I saw.

It was the Ferrari Challenge and he got penalized for punting the guy in front of him, well deserved from watching the video from different angles. If I was the guy in front I would’ve been really mad.
I think I still have it in the DVR, and make a copy and send it to you.

Mike and I watched it last weekend. I believe the race was in mid-May. Skip drove a great race, but as was noted, he got a penalty for avoidable contact. I think he finshed 6th.

You can watch it again on 7/18, don’t remember the time.

I don’t believe you are correct. Please double check your facts. If you’d like to talk to skip about it, I’m sure he’d rather you (all) discuss it with him directly. He is very accessible.

I believe this is correct. I just happened to see the race last night. This person (I don’t know him) lost the race lead due to a penalty incurred when an overly aggressive move in turn 1 caused another driver to spin.

Correlation does not necessarily equal causation. Unfortunately it seems the race coverage doesn’t tell the whole story and doesn’t include the hours of disputes that took place after the race and the fact that he was black flagged for what turned out to be a misunderstood communication from a corner worker. I would love to give his phone number, but I don’t think he would appreciate me posting his cell phone on the web. If you really want the truth please e-mail him at theebennets@comcast.net His name is Skip.

Rumor and misinformation is something that is easy to start and very damaging.

Thanks. I’ll set the DVR again. And this time, I won’t let it get kicked-off by a big purple dinosaur!
