I will try to do several live updates from the MSRXSS event from Bristol today with an occasional pic. Cars that are here listed below. We are under the second rain delay of the day. Two early morning practice incidents occurred. Jason Blonde lost a left rear tire. Appears little damage. Brian Olson looses wing at speed. Appears minimal damage.

This should answer your Brian Olson wing question. Troy DeCaire did not qualify. Not sure what the problem is he is having. Unsure if he will run the #6 car he has been in all weekend or jump into another car. He was the MSRXSS point leader entering this weekend. Not qualifying will hurt his chances for a championship greatly.

Not a good day for Florida in MSRXSS qualifying. Butler looks to be 20th and DeCaire didn't take time due to an engine change.
