Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Chicago Street Course

  • Brad – P17 after starting p27 in top split. Was able to avoid the carnage and multiple wrecks ahead of me. Managed to finish with 0x! Iā€™ll take it.

Wednesday Open – Pocono 

  • David – P the hits keep on comin
  • Tyler – P1 We won it! Started in the back and stayed clean and patient. Let the car come in and kept tires cool. Late caution with 10 or so to go split the field on tire strategy and we stayed out. Ran my fastest lap on the last lap. Major team effort as credit has to go to the Team Tifosi. Justin with adjustments, Brad with the blocks. Chris and Tom on strategy. Full team effort and I am beyond grateful. Yall got me this victory. NIS win #2, Did It For Dale! 
  • Brad W – P3 after starting p6. Ran in the top five for the first 25 laps till getting doored into the wall off of T3. Pitted twice to get all the repairs done and came from the back twice. Had a green flag stop with 20 to go and only took right side tires to try and gain track position. This left me with no more right side tires when the last yellow came out. Stayed out and restarted p2 with Tyler but on final GWC got ran up the track by p3 and lost one spot. From that point I was defending Tyler. Iā€™ll take the p3 but would have loved to have gotten a 1-2 finish.
  • Bobby – P9th with a destroyed car
  • Chris W – P 24. Stayed out on a late caution on semi-new tires. Was P5 with 5 to go and got turned going into Turn 1. Car flipped then blew my motor. P24.


Official Series

IMSA

  • Hall – P  The 24 got DDoSā€™ed
  • Brad – P2 (GTD-Daytona) Started p13 and finally put an entire race together. Was quick and was able to drive through the field. Was matching the speed of the leader at the end but just too far back to catch him. Ran the race with 0x till the last lap I somehow cut the bus stop and had to back way off to avoid crossing the line with a penalty. P3 almost got me as I took the checkered.
