Badbeatbill Windshield Tearoff

I was not feeling fast, but after Alex turned Kelvin into my path, on lap 23, I had to deal with 5 minutes of optional repairs.
Sadly couldn't get that fully fixed in the remaining caution. Still felt really slow even with only minimal damage remaining.
So…

I got mine on lap 184 out of 187. So I guess you get 3 laps after the lap that you get the flag, and/or they let you go if you reach the white flag.

This my second Phoenix race in a row that I finish with a meatball flag...
Happy to hold on to 5th.
Coming into this session I was not expecting to be able to make my tires last for a full tank. NIS on wednesday was rough for me.
In the end I didn't, but…

Could not get the rears to help me out here.

Got lucky with the caution and the track position that gave me. The 6th place finish feels like a steal.

A very frustrating start to the year in the championship… three races I couldn’t finish because of someone else… one I couldn’t even race due to personal issues… and to top it all off, my new computer freezes, the game and OBS just crash… Thanks.

Badbeatbill Same provider, but it should be finally back in normal. We did some races in the recent days and didn't have a single issue.

Also, new internet provider for Petr and Jakub? Or some other fix/change?

I did not notice a single 'Smetana blink' during this race. Or did I just not drive close when it did happen?
I can imagin it would be very welcome for you two, to no longer have…

Tactical mistake taking 4 tires on the green flag pitstop. Tho in the end, this did give good grip on the final laps.
Some close racing in the end, but pretty boring before that.
Surprising to find myself in the top 5 in the points again. And very strong…

Funniest surprise pole position by Sven. Congrats!

So many cautions.. Happy with my 5th place finish.

I was not that good on 1 hotlap, but managed to hold on and claw back at times.
The slidejobs pulled off were impressive, and I got to do a few of my own.…

I killed my car running on the seam. Got loose in T4 and manage to save it in a way that only made be hit the outside wall.
Looks like the seams got a lot of people loose in a nasty way.

Too bad, I was liking running the top when it was 'open', and top 5…

I do remember the VH setups, indeed.
I suppose it's not that extreme at this point in time, haha.

Hey, that guy won at Phoenix .

That points fight was only interesting because big fields can create some chaos, that I was slightly better at surviving that season.
And what I feel Nascar should be about (not stages btw, realism aside). But you won't…

It’s a shame that my favorite butt on the grid made such an awful, terrible pit stop that he left me stranded at the end of the race…

Without that butt, I’m lost on superspeedways… xD

Fun race.
It felt like me and Jeroen had it just about under control with 11 to go, but then a caution came out.
I was pushing Jeroen in the middle lane, and Manu was behind us being 1 lap down.
Sadly, after that Manu was gone. Tried our best to make that…
