Winger's Wild ride at I-75

[squaredup12]

Let me clarify…I’m not blaming the incident on Winger at all…Winger getting run off the track and the wild ride that ensued from it was undoubtedly the result of McCarter dooring him. So the incident there is 100% on McCarter. I was simply making 2 separate but somewhat related comments in one post, one of which was to say that after the contact with Millwood Winger started driving a bit wilder…he was the fastest car on the track without a doubt, but he couldn’t seem to keep the car under control…albeit I was as impressed as anybody to see him drive it back up on the track like he did twice.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything as blatant as this. Lap after lap after lap. McCarter should be banned from the series for a year or two.
And what was up with Millwood ?

Winger is exciting but expensive crash last night

jr29…I’m not sure what Millwood’s deal was. But I live in the area that he races in quite a bit, and to be honest I wasn’t surprised to see the way he was driving. He’s turned it to a mid-pack racer come feature time, but it seems like when he gets up front every now and then and starts getting a little taste, he starts driving like he did last night. I recall a comment a few years back (don’t remember the track) where Dale McDowell called him out on it…not by name, but if you had watched the race everybody knew who Dale was talking about.

To be clear, I wasn't blaming Winger here either. I was just stating from McCarter's point of view he probably got tired of the sliders but heck, that's just a part of racing. I was starting to like Winger earlier in the race for the way he did run Millwood. That was pure karma for Millwood as he ran Henderson the exact same way. Your average driver wouldn't have made a save coming back onto the track like Winger did a couple of times. I was especially shocked he saved it that 2nd time as his car literally almost went completely airborne coming back over the brim.

Winger will be barred from competition with the iron man series and 411 speedway. I tried to stay up and watch it, but the alarm goes off too early.

How so? The race was not at that track or with that series.

looked like 51 doored the 22 off the track to me

He did…………

[ride height]

Either the 51 was driving over his skill level, or he purposely escorted the 22 off the back straight. Either way….this one’s on the 51. I watched the video several times, I have no dog in the fight. The 22 could have attacked in a different line as he knew he’d been punted once already on the extreme outside, but it’s easy to judge from a keyboard. It was exciting, that’s a fact. Glad nobody was seriously hurt except pride and checkbook.

Says two members of Team 22 Inc. will now be allowed in the infield pits for the next two races. I assume one of those two will be Ashton's dad.

It was a joke.

Anybody that blames that on Winger is an idiot. How many times did 51 run him off the track before that.

[Punisher88]

Winger has a brake pedal he chose not to use it. He had already ran over Millwood took him out. I've seen many go over the backstretch at Phenix city. At some point you have to lift or just take the consequences.

This track is completely different than EAMS. Phenix city has about 15 feet of perfectly flat area at the top that isn't off camber. I75 looks to be way off camber and steep. Going off there is definitely alot more likely to end badly. I've passed guys at EAMS with all 4 off the track. Hell I've used it to make a bigger circle and carry momentum leaving 2. It's typical there.

It was a joke.

Gotcha!!!!

Ray Cook said no rough driving calls…… but a car flipped so they need to lower the droop rule to 45” 😂😂😂😂

[YeetIt]

The whole blaming the track for not having walls thing is as big a joke as the 51. If the place had walls Ashten would have needed a new from clip a couple times over from getting punted into the thing any of the multiple times it happened. 51 needs parked, pretty evident here.
