My "slide job" was an attemp to re gain positions after being pushed to the wall by the pole sitter at the start that in any other case would have been called back. I lifted, lost positions but saved a crash. The 25 and 26 car did not enter the corner the same way twice...I choose to slide the 26 car & coming out of 2 in the blinding sun I was clear as far as I could tell...(hind sight is 20/20). You can't follow cars just because the race track has one racing groove. No matter how you view the situation sprintcars have 2 pedals and a steering wheel... Justin Owen could have crossed me up but he didn't... RR to LF was the result. Just a lap later the "People's Champ" RR'ed my nerf bar in the same corner... No harm... No foul. If you watched the feature you saw dozens of huge sliders, many of which would have resulted much worse but better driving prevailed and cross overs where made.
With that said...
I offered Justin Owen a front axle and componets last night to fix his hurt racecar. I am a 24 year old owner/driver... I know how this sport works and I know the struggle to keep your head above water in this lossing game.
