Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Watkins Glen
- Mike – P P8- it was boring, but it was fun at the end when I got some love from Haley Deegan and her husband
- Greg – P4
- Kyle- p4
- Tony -P13 2nd from bottom
Wednesday Open – Bristol
- Mike- P13– ran anywhere from 2nd to 10th most of the night was running when I got too many incidents and had a drive-through penalty. I fell down two laps from there and never recovered.
- David – P
- Justin – P1! I really just tried to survive until the end. I wanted to park it half way through the race just cause I was getting beat up so bad but I stuck with it. I channeled my inner David Hall and pulled some strategy out of my ass. We got a caution around lap 20 and I was p6 when the field went into the pits. The whole field took 4 tires besides me and another guy. Which lined me up on the front row P2 on the start. We had a green flag run until about 2 to go. I was on that leader’s ass the whole time if he messed up I was going to get him which he did. We were coming up on a lap car. The lap car stayed high which so did the leader and I just chose whatever lane was open and as soon as I cleared the leader another caution fell. Which led to a Green White Checker. Soon as we hit the Geico Restart Zone I mashed it and kept the lead until the checker came out. This might be my biggest WIN yet! This is a team Tifso Win all the way. If you guys didn’t help me with my computer issues the last couple of weeks I would still be on the sidelines. Thanks Team!
- Brad W – P29. Running 3rd and was collected by a wreck of back markers that had the track blocked.
- Chris W – P 20. 19 laps down and 18 of them were from stupid pit road mistakes. Works been nuts, I’m chasing a toddler, and have not slept well and it shows. Hopefully I’ll get some rest and be better at Kansas. Great win Justin!

Haley Deegan and Chase Cabre were back in the chat. Got a hat and mustache from Haley. I asked her about what she’s racing and why she wasn’t racing with me. She said she’d be back in f four on Monday but she’ll be racing the F3 car at cota in October.
- Monday first race at Sebring car number four in second split qualified third really made no mistakes finished second. Guy won was about a second a lot faster than me. I got 89 championship points that’s enough for this week but I’ll run the other three races to see if I can beat it.
