Terrible race, started 7th, got spun in pits, hit the wall in 3 with about 7 to go, awful finish, 12th.

Started 9th with car 16, finished 5, the 10 car just edged me for 4th, 2 incidents but gained a lot of iR and a bit of SR.

My car was toast after getting involved in this wreck, couldn't get around it. Finished 10th with car 12 so gained iRating but lost a bunch of points due to 8 incidents.

Little disappointed here after running 3rd I burned up my tires racing side by side with the 12 but couldn't get past him, meanwhile the 4th and 5th cars caught us and passed me so I finished 6th, still gained 49 iR and 14 S$, no incidents. Started 6th.

Higher splits don't always mean better drivers. 26! caution laps and I couldn't get out of the way of the 2 car spinning, I had one minute required and 4 minutes optional repairs. Finished 10th and gained iRating but lost SR. Points didn't count.

Started 5th with car 3, here I am passing the 4 car for the lead, led the last 10 at least. 4 driver said I forced him outside but my avg laps were faster than his and I had no incidents due to careful driving. In fact, at one point I was right on his tail and cars behind were catching up to me and I had to take an outside line and was running 4th and had to pass everyone again. The secret: take care of your tires. My 34th win.

Welch bumped me in the corner while I was trying to stay off the bumper of the guy ahead, which wrecked me. 8 incidents!!

I discovered the secret to KY...save ur tires. Started 3rd with car 3, finished 2nd. Here I am passing the 10 car to take 2nd place with about 10 to go. Got a lot of points, no incidents.

Started 3rd with qual with car 9, finished 12th, not a good race for me.

First race of the week at Kentucky, 45 laps, started 14th (last) and finished 6th, no incidents, here I am passing the 3 car. Had the 6th fastest lap.

50 lapper, open setup at Pocono, started 13th, finished 8th, no incidents. Using the fixed setup probably didn't help me but it worked out okay for first Indycar race at Poc.

65 lapper at Milwaukee, started 13th, finished 5th, no incidents gained a bunch of points. Hands were sweating so much, hard to steer.

Started 11th with car 15, finished 5th. Just missed this accident behind me. Now 25th in C Series Fixed racing championship.

Started 5th, got to first a few laps in but was eventually passed by two trucks, then a caution came out and they pitted, I didn't. After the 2nd caution there was one to go and the 12 car had newer tires and he passed me with half a lap to go. Finished 2nd.

My 32nd win, led every lap...this is the last lap and the closest that anyone got to me during the race. Michigan, 32 laps, fixed setup.

Racing a bit too close here, in fact, made contact but was able to continue. Started 18th, finished 8th but 5 incidents, gained points but lost .01 SR.

Another try at Milwaukee Mile in Indycars...started 17th and an early crash had me swerving to the right and tagged the wall, damaging my RF but it was only a 0x contact, so after losing some laps in the pits, came out and drove my still dinged car around and through attrition finished 10th, actually gained some points.

32 lapper at Michigan, started 3rd and got by the leader pretty quickly, about halfway thru race this guy passed me but with about 10 to go I got by him and breezed to my 31st win.

Another disaster as a car ahead spins and I can't get out of the way. 2nd or 3rd lap.

Thought I'd try a fixed race at Milwaukee, was doing okay after starting from the pits but this guy wrecked in front of me and I had nowhere to go, got too much damage to fix.

Running a few laps in and the guy in front of me got loose, I swerved a bit right and hit this guy who was hit from behind and sent flying...this is the same guy who won a race earlier today after he got loose and caused two of us behind him to wreck. Cie la vie. Too much damage for me to continue.

Started 6th, running 7th with 10 to go when everyone pitted, I didn't and went to front, re-started with 5 to go and I got passed by 3 so finished 4th, no incidents.

Started 11th (!) finished 8th, no incidents, got some of my points back.

Started 3rd in the 1 car, was running 4th when the green truck got loose, the 7 swerved to avoid, I served to avoid and the 7 and I got into each other, ending our races. Green truck went on the win the race, how nice for him.

This is lap 26, close racing, I was running 5th...started 4th, finished 4th, no incidents, good race for a change.

Running 3rd a few laps in when the 2nd place car spun and to avoid him I went wide and hit the wall, the rest of the race my truck was slow, finished 11th.

Started 3rd, a few laps in 12 car got into me and turned me into the wall, finished 12th.

Having a very good race at Michigan, this guy got loose in front of me and hit the wall, then I tapped him, cars passed me inside and I went from 3rd to 6th.

Better result after a terrible qual, started 6th, finished 5th, no incident, over 200 incident free oval races so far.

First race at Michigan for the week, guy lost it then backed into me. I had started dead last, 19th, and finished 16th, lost points due to the contact. Crap!

20 lapper at Lime Rock in the rookie MX5 Roadster, started 6th and with about 2 laps to go the leader went off, then the 2nd place guy went off, I finished 2nd just ahead of the blue car.

Started 7th and this happened on the first lap on the straight, totally bashed my car and I coasted around the track finishing 10th. Screwed up race.

Started 3rd with car no. 1, started leading last 17 laps and had over 4 seconds ahead of car 2 when yellow came out on lap 24. Little burnout action here. 25 lapper, Pocono trucks.

Started 10th, finished 7th, no incidents, 25 lapper Pocono trucks.

Started 5th, was running 3rd when Blaze got slow in turn one and I had to brake, 6 cars passed me, then I got into the guy above later in the race, sending me all the way to the back, lost a bunch of points. Terrible race.

Started 8th, finished 6th but a crummy race. Was running 3rd about halfway through with over 3 seconds to the guy behind when caution came out. The restart jammed things up and I went almost all the way back, then gained some with wrecks ahead. Gained 18 iRating but lost .09 due to rearending this guy in tunnel turn when he braked for a slow truck ahead.

Started 10th, finished 6th, earned 38 iRating and .05 SR, no incidents. Pocono trucks 25 laps.

One of the few moments of excitement, going 3 wide into turn one. Started 14th, finished 9th, no incidents, 17 caution laps out of 25. Sheesh.

On the pole! 15 caution laps and finally got some green with the last 6 laps. The 6 car passed me on the 2nd green lap and the 3 car passed me on the last lap which was a disappointment, but 3rd place netted me 55 iRating and no incidents so a .06 in the SR column.

Long race, 135 laps at Richmond, used the default set, started from pits in car 7, finished 8th so a good run. Got a 4x incident when someone rear-ended me on lap one.

Started 8 with car 19, kept getting blocked outside and went back to about 16th, then started picking them off, passed the 3 car on the last lap, finished 7th, gained 42 iRating and .14 SR. No incidents. 45 lapper Texas.

Started 7th, finished 7th, no incidents, gained 29 iRating, .03 SR.

Good race, finished 4th, no incidents, gained 71 iRating and .18 SR.

Another disaster when I almost spun on the start, tapped a few cars, no damage but got a 4x for some reason, slapped the wall a few times and had to pit for damage. Finished 15th and lost a huge chunk off of iRating and SR. This is a bad streak.

Another disaster, running top 10, lap 39 a crash in front collects me, too much damage to continue.

New paint job. In warmup I was 18th so decided to start from the pits, 25 cars in field. By 2nd caution or so I was up to 17, my car number. Six cautions slowed the race but I gained positions each time, finishing 9th with no incidents, gained 42 iRating and .18 SR.

Started last in a 60 lapper at Texas, finished 7th, gained 35 iRating and .13 on SR, had one incident from passing that orange car ahead, had to hit the grass to avoid hitting him. This was getting hairy at 205mph.

This is what I was looking at on lap one, needless to say I couldn't get around him and incurred a 4x penalty, finished a lousy 9th, lost 1 iRating and .07 SR.

Lap 33 of 45 at Atlanta, a wrecking truck ran into my truck as I tried to get around, knocking me into the pits at high speed and the wall, end of race.

Got into a D series race at Charlotte, started from pits to avoid an early catastrophe, however there were no big wrecks so went from 18th to 11th, lost 25 irating, gained .12 SR.

Was running 7th when R. Nunes in the blue truck came down into the 1 truck which spun the 7 into my path and ended my race. Lost 69 iRating and .13 SR.
