Except for the fact that they were running 1-2 in a heat race, with nothing to really gain by making that pass. Cottle loses his ride for the next night over that issue, "just a racing incident" cost 1 car owner a lot of money and 1 driver the chance to make some money the next night. A pass on the outside going into the corner when cottle is probably expecting a slider is a game of Russian roulette if you ask me.
