Mike Streicher is right. IMO big slide jobs seem to be the only way to pass on many poorly prepared tracks, this is just one that went wrong.

Thanks for your opinions on a wing post...My theory is, with everybody running the SAME tire, the SAME wing, the SAME amount of horsepower and basically the SAME talent level, on these big half miles (Eldora), the straight away speed is the same. So the only way to pass is to play chicken through the corners. And with all the rules, (re stricter plate racing, sprint car style) this is going to be a common occurrence on the bigger tracks..

That better view changes my opinion. I was ready to say Esh was due a wheel hammer to the head after the initial video, but the second shows he was clearly ahead and didn't see the black car.

Esh had him cleared, and was obviously coming up the track. I have always assumed the lead car to have the line, so Wilt should have checked up or turned under him. He was trying to put the car in a place that it wouldnt, and didnt fit.
