    Did something break to make him roll? Or did he just get into the wall? Didn't look like a hard crash regardless.

    Mark this down, it's a rarity, but I agree with ya Litey. With the way they run the rf these days, and the cushion that way, that's what it looked like to me as well.

    He was running well though till that. But it's the old adage, live and die by the cushion. Run it, but don't depend on it.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    Bobby had right front suspension break, and it caused him to dive into cushion, causing the flip.

    Just watch the Vid of it and he just got in to the cushion too hard.. Back Hit the Cushion to hard and then the front slammed it because of it....He just needs too say he drove in too hard....If the right Front had broken he would have Nosed it in....

    I guess believe what you want. It's what happened. He's young and yes gets overzealous at times. No denying he's a talent out there on dirt.

    Bobby needs too learn that the Last lap is the only lap he needs too lead... Save that Slide job for the last lap... If and when he does,,,,,, He will win a LOT of races...........

    Bobby drove a hellava race...had the crowd in thier feet and that's a good thing for racing...sucks that he got bit buy the cushion but that's the risk you take...it's easy to say take it easy but with all the adrenaline it's sometimes hard plus when you let off and take it easy that's when stuff goes wrong....this time it went the other way...bobby has a lot of wins and we all know the big ones are coming

    If he learns To control that Adrenaline He could win a lot of races...If hes good he needs to learn how too.. Thats just as much part of races as gassing the car.....Letting off is just as much racing as going all out.. If it goes Wrong it was meant too be....

    being only 19 will be difficult to control starting close to front could've helped also

    He had to be up on the wheel....22nd to 2nd and one of the most dominate drivers once out in front just in front of him in Richards....hard to let off...keep your line...pass hm...put a few lappers in between...just one tiny miscue...FYI Bobbys not in it for second...he has a drive to win like no other...if you don't think he is learning each lap your mistaken...he absorbs info like a sponge...he has shown patients on many of occasion...more so than the last couple years.
