You make the call.....rough driving on the 28 or just 2 cars running their line that happen to meet tire-to-tire on entry into turn 3.

Not sure about rough driving but it was dumb driving. the inside car sure didnt hold his line.

I can't disagree with that.....if you are going to run low out of two and then try to shoot up the track for your entry into three you should probably realize there may be some cars in your way.

That being said I would not have DQ'ed the 28 after the race (that he won) as the accident was not intentional and there were no other issues with the 28's racing.

I have seen much worse incidents that have not been called.

I would chalk that up to a class of cars that I think are often too quiet and maybe the inside car didn't hear the car on the outside. Nonetheless, the inside car appeared to be ahead as they came down the backstretch. If you don't hear or see someone, it's not the driver's job to assume there is somone there. It was his track to do with as he pleased. On the other hand, the guy on the outside "should" have been able to see the guy in front moving up and should have turned under him entering 3. I don't really call that anyones fault, but the outside car at least had the opportunity to see where the car ahead was going. If someone got dq'd, I think that was wrong.

Watch the first part of the clip (normal speed) about midway back and tell me if you see an incident where rough driving could have been called.

How about we all stop talking about this deal and move on? He was Dq'ed, can't change it now by posting a video and arguing about it. Time to move on to Waynesfield.

Disagree....what if it happens to you at some point, will you feel the same way? And why can't it be changed? The Waynefield race was changed days later after the alcohol deal.

And we're not arguing.....we're discussing, there's a difference.

You are right nothing can be done as the race is in the past but maybe a driver can watch this clip and learn from others mistakes.

If it happens to me, I'll take care of it the next week or race and be done with it. Which I'm sure Kevin Sr. will do.

I'd like to know what you mean by that? On, or off the track?
