Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Richmond
- Mike -. P 9- round basically top five most of the race with the reset at 40 to go. I restarted fifth ran the tires off pretty much and faded back to ninth.
- Justin – p3 started 23rd. Not much to say about it, very well executed race only 2 cautions had the lead for a bit. If that race went past 50 lap runs I was the fastest. Maybe I need to drive harder in the short run?
- Chris Waldron- finished several laps down sped on Pitt Road and then got in a wreck, fighting for the lucky dog
- Rochette P20 was wrecked out of 12th with no caution and lost 3 laps this race sucked
Sunday Open- Richmond
- Tom D – p10. Don’t know how much more I had. But I’ll take a top 10 in Sunday top split
- Tony – Welp had a good top 5 car til i got side swiped by a guy that couldn’t hold it out of 4 and into the wall for a green flag meatball p19
- Hall – p 11 top spit, only race this week other than 1 A open. Same dirty driving but I got lucky with caution timings and came back from last to 11th.
Wednesday Open: Michigan
- Mike- p 13- ran around 10 to 15. Most of the reason I kept hitting the wall coming off two. We had a green flags stop near the end and I somehow cycled backwards quite a bit. Not sure what went wrong.
- David – p one stop versus two.
- Kyle– P6
- Justin – p 6 started p33 kinda adopted Tom’s idea of starting in the back at least guaranteed to miss 1 or 2 wrecks. Did get super lucky and dodged a lot of wrecks kept it clean. Any 3 wide situation i backed out. I think I would have had a shot if I pitted 10 laps earlier. Didn’t expect the last half to go green. Never taken 2 tires before could have pushed harder. Fun rance
- Tony – Had a top 5-10 car but got pinched against the wall and damage but 22nd on the final restart with 4 to go and finished 15th
- Tom -p23? – Wasn’t positioned to Win on a long green flag run but they got a late caution and then got ran into the wall after the restart. Was going to finish either 1st or second. A yellow comes out with 5 to go. I get crashed and finish 26th. That’s a lot of points left on the table
- Tyler – P10! Finally a good result. Car #35 and started dead last. Even better was the 0x! Great set from the team and had my son, Parker, next to me as crew chief for the entire race. He made the right calls and got us to finish strong. So happy to get this top 10.
- David – p13, was on the way to a poor finish as stretching fuel for an entire stint was not effective, late caution and the late wreck gave me a lot of spots back.
Thursday Open: Michigan
Justin- p6 started p7. Stayed in the top 10 most of the race had a little run at the end again just a few positions didnt have alot of long run speed isn’t like me. The track temps were lower than normal
Official Series
Ellis–
- A open- p8.
- Ringmaster FF 1600. Wrecked out.
League / Hosted Races
OBRL Cup
- Brian -P DQ first set of incident points were on me, the second not so much
