I saw it and here is my opinion. Bixler being the veteran he is left a couple of car lengths in front of him on the start and Bradley quickly filled this area. Soudrette looked like someone drove across his nose and he spun across the track to the infield and hit the small burm on the bottom of the track and gassed it up causing quite a dust storm. Every car behind Soudrette veered one way or the other and a lot of contact was made. Bixler not only now had a foot or two between his front bumper and Bradleys he also had a face full of Bradleys car so it only makes sense that Bradley would react before Bixler.

The cars came to a rest before they got to the flag stand and considering your not suppose to pass till you reach the chalk line in four you can see a lot happen in a relative short period of time. I hate the word racing incident but that is exactly what it was. Many of the fans around us were a little upset with Bradleys actions after he exited the car and the safety crew was still working to free a driver from the wreckage but I just wrote it off as raw emotions as I have been there. As far as blame though there really cant be any put on either Soudrette or Bixler if that is your motive. Not sure what put Bradley deep in the pack because I missed the heat but he definitely was looking to gain many spots on the start. Sometimes when your going to be that aggressive on the start you have to accept the consequences. Lets face it how many times do you see a full lap completed on the first start of a sprint feature. Maybe 60% of the time.

I was wondering if Lawrenceburg has a 360 rule as Soudrette would of definitely been guilty of this but he did not stop and was given his spot back. Once again this was just my opinion of how it went down and I really don't have a dog in the fight.
