There was no way bp was going to come out of the corner without flipping, or at the very least, contact with Jeff. BP drove in way over his head and took them both out...PERIOD! Congrats to Kyle and his crew. Jeff drove his rear end off and should be proud of the way he ran.

Thats the way I saw it also. Bland got flat run over by Puterhead.It was a shame to crash 2 good cars. Congrats to Kyle..

BP went it too hard and took them both out. Great job Kyle. It was cool to get to see you win.

I don't have a dog in this fight... I felt that the BP/Bland crash was an unfortunate racin deal. I am sure both sides are angry and dissapointed. If the crash happened on lap 5, I could see as a bad deal.. but this was turn 3 & 4 on the last lap with both drivers hungry for the win. It is very simple.. two guys racing there guts out! It was a very exciting race.

BTW... I should mention that "Brain-damage" Hayden got his 2nd win in row in the modifieds....

As far as the deal between Bland and BP, it just looked like BP went for it and missed. He's not a dirty driver, so it was no doubt just a miscalculation on his part. Wasn't a bad night of racing and the track was a lot smoother than it had been in previous weeks. We were out of there by 9:45. Would have been out of there by 9:30 at the latest, had the wrecker not ran over and gotten stuck to Kenny Carmichael's car.

Some may call it racing...I call it driving in way over your head and hoping when you bounce off the guy leading that you are able to beat him to the flag. There is no way you can convince me that BP was going to make it through that turn without contact.
Thanks to the Cam and the Pottorff crew for a great car...too bad 1 dumba** move cost them the race.

Well run show tonight done by 9:45 even with the mods running their feature 1st. Speaking of which congrats to Brian and Bill.:6: I agree with Jerry, BP is not a dirty driver but it was pretty much a bonehead move. Nice run to 3rd by Seth Parker, he is getting better!

You always learn something from the replay, compared to what you think your eyes saw, when you watched it happen. As I see the replay, it looks like an aggressive move by BP that just went bad. That set off a chain of circumstances that ended up with him rolling and then flipping right into the space where Jeff Bland just happened to be. Live and in real time, it looked more like a driver taking the other guy out by making contact on a slider gone bad. But, it ended up being more of a racing deal than it initially appeared. It was still a bad deal for Jeff, who was definitely going to win the race.
