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!

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.
