If iracing did earlier eras, I kind of wish they’d unlock the pits and not enforce modern pit road speed limits. Maybe it wouldn’t “add” any new dynamic to the races, but I’d like to see it to determine this. Maybe a week 13 experiment but would likely require complex coding for something that seems “simple.”

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Thursday Fixed

  • Justin – P17 
  • Tony – Pwrecked couldn’t avoid a spinning car

Friday Open -Bristol 

  • Mike -.  P right before halfway 16 incident and six minutes optional damage. Finally on lap for 58. I get dq out completely too many incidents.  
  • Tom-p dq out
  • Rochette P4 avoided stuff stayed clean lap cars blocked me from racing against 2nd and 3rd with 10 to go 
  • Tony – P 22, Started P24 really ran a clean and uneventful race, got to 40 to go and some guy fenced a guy then came down across my nose and the car was dead. Guy apologized. I would be lying if i said i hadn’t done something dumb on here

Sunday Fixed- Kansas

  • Justin – P LAST! I ran a half lap and a guy spun in front of me. I chose the wrong lane. Little damage. Next restart guy spun directly in front of me wouldn’t miss it. Never made it one full lap. Probably the shortest NIS race i have ever had.

Wednesday Open: bristol

  • Mike- P dnf. Lab 150 a huge pileup for five cars were up against the wall. I came around the corner on the high end at full speed didn’t see them at all and plowed right in 50 seconds. Optional in over 10 minutes required I couldn’t even drive it back to the pit.
  • David – P 6.  Even doing my best to stay out of trouble was at 16x on the caution with 20 to go.  There was an even later caution that I barely missed.  But on GWC i wouldn’t have lost positions to lappers at that point as not pitting would be less laps than pitting, so felt safe.  But survived by trying to not over race the car.  Race had cautions but wasn’t horrific like a Martinsville usually is.  Gained a point of safety rating with the 16x
  • Justin – P27, had a fast car just over drove it. Spun out. It  was on me.
  • Chris – p 19. I should have drove around for first 400 laps. Was P8 and got wrecked on lap 150. After 15 min of repairs I finished p19 80 laps down. Passed 11 cars while racing wrecked. 

GregPKilled it



Official Series

Ellis– 

  • Hosted Chris maguire Supercars at Michigan. We have the pit for fuel when we did nobody could get fuel. Everyone was stuck in the pitch and the pit crews would not feel the car.  
  • Draft Meister trucks at Daytona. Backed out and chickened out when I found out it was open set. 
  • FIAF4  racing regionally at lime rock Park- wrecked out twice in a row. The second race I did the fast repair after towing and drove from 23rd back up to 13.
  • Next race got up to around ninth before I wrecked out on lot 14 on my own had to tow.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – 

  • Mike -.  P kind of messed up during green flag stops by pitting too late and losing the draft. Luckily, I caught a caution and was able to recover got to the lead with six to go. Was leading the second Greenway checker  made some bad news.  Started third for the final restart and made some bad news and fell to  eight.
  • David – p dnf, running in front, bad bump on inside lane took me out to loose track position, then got caught up in 2 other wrecks.  Engin blew coming to the green.
  • Rochette P wrecked… just couldnt avoid getting wrecked 

Sunday Open- 

  • Tom D – P 8
  • Justin- p2 start 21st didnt really keep it clean not really my fault had 12x with no damage. Alot of ghost x’s. Its helps to have a teammate in your split. There was a couple of other teammates there were locked together and pretty much controlled the race.
  • Tony – p wrecked again. Felt like the yoodler climbing up that hill waiting for the right price and just toppling over 
  • Kyle P. P17 Started P1 and kept it up near the front all race led 15 laps and had the lead on all 3 GWC and was in major fuel saving mode and went 54 laps on a tank of fuel only to run out halfway down the Back stretch on the final lap. Coasted home to a P17

Sunday Fixed

  • Justin  P p2 start 21st didn’t really keep it clean not really my fault had 12x with no damage. A Lot of ghost x’s. It helps to have a teammate in your split. There were a couple of other teammates there who were locked together and pretty much controlled the race.

Wednesday Open: Darlington

  • Mike- p 16. We basically had 30 laugh runs all night. I ran an average of fifth Place most of the night as high as third.  But at the end of the race, a 57 lap run I faded after about 30 really hard from fifth all the way back to 16th I suck.
  • David – p. P15 with damaged steering from lap 90 when out of control car flew into my left rear, lot of carnage allowed me to creep back up to 15th
  • Justin – p, dont know flat out got fucking dumped. In my opinion I was probably top 5 speed at least. Apparently I need to learn how to protest. Luckily i was the 28 car so i didn’t hurt the rating to bad
  • Tony – P7 wasn’t feeling good about this 1 but after missing a few good wrecks ended up having a long run car. Even led some GF laps but should’ve pitted alittle sooner. Race went over 70 GF laps at the end. Best ive ran at Darlington in about 3 years
  • Greg -P15 Was racing for P4 going into turn 3 on last lap and exited turn 4 P15

Thursday Open: 

  • Mike – p dnf- Rose restarting third on laugh, 60 and the guy behind me floated from the bottom all the way to the top going into one and wiped out the guy next to me who wiped us all out eight minutes required.

  • David – p. 9  was leading outside, got hung out by a guy who thought I was going to the inside, he showed me his cockpit view, and how it basically looked to him like i did, even though the overhead looked like i didn’t.  So  a little deflated but at least in contention.
  • Justin – p10, stay clean the first half got caught up in a mess. 3 min of damage took about 10 to go to get back to normal just took advantage of some check ups on the green white checkered managed a 10p i couldn’t complain still plussed up for the night/
  • Tony – p 9 typical plate racing. Got stuck behind a Logano and a flaming Gordan car got my ass kicked like Terry Funk in roadhouse  as they wrecked. Made the mistake of staying out when shouldve got my minute damage fixed. Fell 6th to 23th but got a lucky caution and got damage fixed and went from 19 to 9 on the white 
  • Chris – P2 – was spun on lap 16 and went a lap down. Got the lucky dog and road the high line on a GWC to finish 2nd 

Thursday Open: 

  • Mike – p 3-  top 10 most of the Rece. Made a bad move with about 10 to go to the middle and got hung out made my way back up so on the final green white checker I was fifth comment to the checker the top three wrecked and I was able to get by a couple of them  I had a bit of nose damage at that point so I’m glad to get a nice top three  

Rochette P11 was all over the place. Thought I had the whole world in my hand But had a green flag wreck avoidance had screwed up my top 5 run and had to follow some buzzards as we lagged behind the main pack. Definitely Fiend’n for a win this year

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – 

  • Mike -.  P9 – got what i deserved – started 18th got to 9th on lap 1 – up to 3rd before putting – came out 7th but had a few offs and fell to 9th
  • Rochette i will continue my protest of that 2.5 mile round rectangle track til we get *ndycar back in iracing and nascar brings back the oval

Sunday Fixed

  • Kyle P. P26 Started 22nd. After talking with Lawrence from Sim Coaches and having him help iron out my pedal issues I felt confident and was excited for this race, but little did I know what was about to unfold. Ran a perfect half of a first lap and then turn 7 got caught up in an unavoidable wreck and got the dreaded Italian Meatball. Went to pit right after and the steering was so bad that the car whipped around and I spun on pit entry and got an unsafe pit. Came on down, served my penalty and got the required repair of 27 seconds and decided to wait out the optional as I was hoping to fix the steering fully and just start knocking out laps. Ran a consistent race to the end. Finished P26, not sure if I am looking forward to the Glen next week.
  • Tom D P15 started p24 Seemed to of had a clean race for the most part.
  • Justin  P8 finally got the hang of this track x2 still off a couple seconds on lap time. Started 21st

Wednesday Open: Watkins Glen

  • Mike- p 11. Went from 20th to 15th on the first slab was ninth when pitstop cycle started came out seventh quickly got loose and spun out and spun out another time and fell back to 11.
  • David – p. 9  avoided some early mess, stayed clean and finished about as fast as I was
  • Justin – p10, just need to learn that its real slick on new tires only made mistakes on the first couple laps on new tires plus up’d on ir
  • Tony – p 45 minutes of required 6 laps in…. Started 9th was ok til someone messed up T1 and sent me in the wall. This car sucks on the road and i like the Glen too
  • Chris – P 7. For the most part stayed on the track and stayed clean. 
  • Tyler – P- 15. Started from the pits and quickly made it up to the top 20. Made my pitstop and got caught speeding. 15 sec penalty  put out me 22nd. Raced back up to finish 15th. Let’s talk about a 0x! Beyond proud of myself to have a clean road finish. 

Thursday Open: indy

  • Mike – p qualified fifth car number 10. Had a couple of loose moments in the first three laps and fell back to 12 Made my Way back up to fourth before stops and ended up fourth after stops. Great run.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Thursday Fixed- Michigan

Kyle P. P8. Started 34 at the very back and just ran to the front in the first 30 laps. Got as high as P2 but fell off on restarts and just couldn’t get that top 5.

Friday Open – Michigan

  • Mike -.  Pwrecked out. Lap 69 was running about 15. They wreck in front of me I can’t miss it knocked right front off the car.
  •  Justin –  p
  • David – p wrecked, was runnin well, but on late run, i have to check up, then the guy who gets inside me stays in third lane instead of going to 2nd lane, I tried to run the outline which was the 3rd lane and we collided.
  • Kyle P. P10 Started 3rd but just couldn’t keep it out of the back bumpers of other cars. I was pushing hard to draft as much as possible but just caused problems for myself and ended up with 10x but still walked away with a top 10 finish of P10.

Saturday Fixed Michigan

Sunday Open- Michigan

  • Tom D – P5. Started 20th. Was able to work my way past the few crahses.  Was able to miss getting damaged.  I’ll take a top 5
  • Hall – p 18 topsplit
  • Kyle P. P3 Started P4 and just couldn’t fire off good on the start and fell back to 25th. Slowly made my march to the front. After green flag stops I pushed it to Lap 50 and pitted with the mindset that we would go green and I would have just enough to finish the race. Cycled out P21 and just started to gain positions, avoiding wrecks. Got to the final restart with 7 to go and I restarted P3. Battled with a car that was much faster but was also extremely reckless for P3. Once he used up his tires in the first 5 laps of the restart. I was able to drive past him and hold off a Podium finish of P3.

Wednesday Open: Indy Road

  • Mike- p 10. Started 18th got turned around sideways and turned one lap one fell back quite a ways, but was able to recover quite nicely.
  • David – p. 
  • KyleP P-20 Bring back the Oval. Started P23 and took advantage of a Lap 1 Turn one wreck and gained a ton of spots. But in typical fashion I was super inconsistent with these bricks I mean cup cars. Couldn’t find the right braking points and seemed to overshoot turn 1 a ton. Fell back as far as P25 and slowly gained a handful of spots. Think I am one and done here at Indy this week. 
  • Justin – pI forgot to log out. I was practicing earlier. I’m going to wait until I get better before i do an NiS. I still suck. Ha
  • Tony – p indy road is
  • Chris – P 10. Finished my first NiS road course. Kept the car on the track for a top 10. 
  • Tom – P5 – Started 10th.  Was able to get myself to racing for the top 5.  Came out 10th after pitting.   Was able to pass 5th place on the last lap to gain another top 5.  A good points day

Thursday Open: indy

  • Mike – p….. winner winner chicken dinner. Start at eights got to six by the end of lap one before pitstop started got up to P3 eventually cycle to the lead and kept it for the rest of the race when I pitted for fuel I had a 53 second lead when I came out after the pitstop I had a nine second lead the guy and second was much faster and caught me over the remaining labs and it was as close as 1.5 seconds behind when he had some issue and I was able to move on and win the race and lead the most Laps. My 95th career win.  My fifth NIS win this year.  My first at this track.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Richmond

  • Mike -.  P 9- round basically top five most of the race with the reset at 40 to go. I restarted fifth ran the tires off pretty much and faded back to ninth. 
  •  Justin –  p3 started 23rd. Not much to say about it, very well executed race only 2 cautions had the lead for a bit. If that race went past 50 lap runs I was the fastest. Maybe I need to drive harder in the short run?
  • Chris Waldron- finished several laps down sped on Pitt Road and then got in a wreck, fighting for the lucky dog
  • Rochette P20 was wrecked out of 12th with no caution and lost 3 laps this race sucked

Sunday Open- Richmond

  • Tom D – p10. Don’t know how much more I had.  But I’ll take a top 10 in Sunday top split
  • Tony – Welp had a good top 5 car til i got side swiped by a guy that couldn’t hold it out of 4 and into the wall for a green flag meatball p19
  • Hall – p 11 top spit, only race this week other than 1 A open.  Same dirty driving but I got lucky with caution timings and came back from last to 11th.

Wednesday Open: Michigan

  • Mike- p 13- ran around 10 to 15. Most of the reason I kept hitting the wall coming off two. We had a green flags stop near the end and I somehow cycled backwards quite a bit. Not sure what went wrong.
  • David – p one stop versus two. 
  • KyleP6
  • Justin – p 6 started p33 kinda adopted Tom’s idea of starting in the back at least guaranteed to miss 1 or 2 wrecks. Did get super lucky and dodged a lot of wrecks kept it clean. Any 3 wide situation i backed out. I think I would have had a shot if I pitted 10 laps earlier. Didn’t expect the last half to go green. Never taken 2 tires before could have pushed harder. Fun rance
  • Tony – Had a top 5-10 car but got pinched against the wall and damage but 22nd on the final restart with 4 to go and finished 15th
  • Tom -p23? – Wasn’t positioned to Win on a long green flag run but they got a late caution and then got ran into the wall after the restart.  Was going to finish either 1st or second.  A yellow comes out with 5 to go.  I get crashed and finish 26th.  That’s a lot of points left on the table
  • Tyler – P10! Finally a good result. Car #35 and started dead last. Even better was the 0x! Great set from the team and had my son, Parker,  next to me as crew chief for the entire race. He made the right calls and got us to finish strong. So happy to get this top 10. 
  • David – p13,  was on the way to a poor finish as stretching fuel for an entire stint was not effective, late caution and the late wreck gave me a lot of spots back.

Thursday Open: Michigan

Justin- p6 started p7. Stayed in the top 10 most of the race had a little run at the end again just a few positions didnt have alot of long run speed isn’t like me. The track temps were lower than normal



Official Series

Ellis– 

  • A open- p8. 
  • Ringmaster FF 1600. Wrecked out.


League / Hosted Races

OBRL Cup

  • Brian -P DQ first set of incident points were on me, the second not so much

  • Tyler – P27- Caught in a wreck on lap one as the dive bombing began early. Regrouped and fixed the car. Had a great set as the team made a few adjustments. Shout out to Kyle on the main set and Joe with the in race adjustments. Car was wicked fast and fun to drive. Contact possibly a net code on white to put my top 15 car back in 27th. Frustrated with the result but just glad to be fast. 

Thursday Open  

  • David – p 15 top split up and down race, fell to the back early cause of a series of 3 wrecks that didn’t bring out a caution.  I slowed, most didn’t and a guy turned across my nose.  Later trying to work way back up, another multi accident situation, 3 or the 4 wrecks don’t bring out a caution.  I don’t back out, fail to miss, but not severe damage, stay out, gain a lot of track position over other hurt cars, and finish 15th.
  • Mike – was running bit with 12 to go. They beat getting on pit row that I can’t decide and I hit the barrels for minutes damage.

Rochette P16 been awhile.since i raced on a thursday. Unlike my dominate win last year in the Dorito shaped track today i was getting slammed bammed and shammed whole race. Was running 9th on thr white when guys wanted to wreck on the back and i got ran over
