That SOB in the blue/yellow cup car just spun him off, on purpose. I think that more than just a few words were probably exchanged in the pits after that.

That is pretty normal tactics in professional Carrera Cup races. Another one is press the brakes hard in front of another car so be bumps into your back end and blows out his radiators. And you thought NASCAR was the only rough racing?

Good thing it was a nice safe part of the track with lots of run-off room. He could have really banged up his car if he had hit the wall or something

There is no safe part of the track for car to car contact.

Do you think that driver was yelling "Yeehaw!" while going over?

More like "WHY ME?"

BTW Mac, I need to talk to you sometime about the car that I rented from Rick Deman (your old one).

I wonder what that must have felt like. Too bad he probably won't even be able to remember it. Hopefully he was okay. Amazing how the cage provides such protection even in such a vicious roll.

I guess I'd ask why there was a launch ramp/sign so close to the track. It was just a spin until he hit the advertisement
