I was at the Smackdown Saturday night. I left my seat during the previous caution to stand outside of turn one looking directly down the front straightaway. Holding my seat cushion to deflect the dirt, I saw a car contact another's left rear. Next he is on the wall flipping toward my position. I duck down and hear 2 thuds, look over the wall and see the 21x upright and trashed. I see another car bent up and another on its side with a stuck throttle. Stanbrough climbs out shakes off help and walks toward the pit entry but spins around and sprints down the front stretch to another car. Three cars are junk and Jon is as mad as I have ever seen a race driver in 50 years of attending. I can't say it was intentional but Jon was leading the 20 car the entire race. The 20 car also put a slide job that wasn't going to work on the 40 of Grant in the "B"! Grant flips, collects another racer and Grant is out of the Smackdown. This is how the 20 car received the flat right rear in the "B". The 20 took seven laps of yellow on the flat tire, pitted, restarted but did not transfer to the "A". The 20 and 81 are added to the "A" using USAC provisionals. Two races and the #20 car junks five competitors. A reasonable man might say the 20 needs an attitude adjustment. I hope USAC acts for the safety of all drivers and the betterment of our sport!
