Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Kansas
- Mike – P wrecked out
- Tony -P6
- John -P9
- Justin- wrecked out
Wednesday Fixed – Talladega
- Justin- P1 Strategy played to my favor again. We had a caution 25 to go. I Just put enough gas in her to finish the scheduled distance which gained me 5 spots to put me on the front row. I recommend an ignition switch. It helped me save a ton of fuel for the G/W/C’s. Luckily I held P1. I never have been so close with fuel. I started sputtering at the tri oval taking the checkered. I gotta say one thing better than the win was I had a listener in the race that introduced himself to me. He said he was a weekly listener shout out to Tom Gulker we went 1 -2.
Wednesday Open – Talladega
- Mike- P disqualified out with one to go. Let some laps during the race but was involved in many different incidents that were not my doing and basically ran out of incident points. The TikTok stream blew up. I had somewhere between 300 to 500 watchers at any given time 24,000 views, six gifts, 185 followers and 16,000 likes .
- Brad W – P31 after starting p10. One of the worst drafting races I can remember being in. Most of the guys raced like monkeys using a hammer for the first time.
- Tony P19 got stuck being pushed from a damaged car. My split on had 2 cautionstand they were in the first half Of the race
- Bobby – P3
- Greg – P13 – No Caution with a couple to go split the field
- Chris W – P9. Race was sloppy. I was in 4 wrecks and had 16x. On white flag lap of GWC…. Call me Moses… There were several wrecks and the seas parted. Went from 25th to 9th on the last lap! P9!
Thursday Open – Talladega
- Mike- P20- started in the back this time we had a green flag run and a green flag stop with caution shortly after somehow someway I cycled up the fifth after that and stayed upfront for the part of it but eventually got wrecked out really bad four minutes damage limped it home.
