Any one know for sure if T-Mez have steering failure Saturday night. Maybe there was another problem. That was going to be a good show with him on the front row.

It was a good show, might have been better if he didn't have the problem. I can only tell you that he signaled to family something broke as he left the track in the cart. Clearly had a failure as the car went straight to the wall.

From our angle down by the entrance to turn one, it looked like it broke a bar stop on the rf. Purely a guess.

I was just to the turn 4 side of the flagstand looking right at it. The wheels didn't turn at all as he approached the wall. Sure looked like something in the steering broke

He put a picture of the front of the car on Instagram and said a $5.00 bolt broke on the steering
