Can someone please explain to me what happened during the Late Model race. How do you dominate the whole race, and Not win?

I can really see why no one cares about that track. The rules are dumb, The track had a hole in turn one. Won't ever go back there again... plus it took them 4 tries to finish lap one in the late models.

I guess my only beef with the track was how the 81 was leading and dominating the whole night...Then all of a sudden a lap car screws him over and he doesn't win. I just don't get it....

Same thing happened to me opening night at Lernerville. It's a rule that most tracks use. I've seen it happen to others also. It was explained to me that they don't want to make it a judgment call so if you are involved in a spin or wreck with a lapped car you're considered part of the caution. The only track in recent years that I've seen do it right is Marion Center Speedway. I think tracks really need to consider changing that rule because it's definitely going to happen again.

Ohhhhh now I understand what happened. That is a very stupid rule. I mean if a lap car slows up in front of the leaders and you get into them and they spin that shouldn't be your fault. I totally agree with you.

I think their is a grey area with the rule. I've talked to some fellow drivers who think that if say the top 3 or 5 are "taken" out by a lapped car and can still continue to race then they should get their spot back. As in my case, I was leading and took the white flag. As I entered turn 1 & 2 the lapped car was on the middle/high groove and as I got back in the gas he started to spin, coming down the track to the bottom where I was running. I didn't have anywhere to go and when I turned toward the inside of the track I was collected by him. They put me to the back because they said the caution hadn't been displayed yet.

I really do not like that rule. I agree with you. I think you should get your spot back.

Ok now that I saw and know whats went on I will stop putting down Bradford. Everyone has their favorite tracks, Or tracks they like to go for. Bradford is just not mine I guess. It always sucks to see they guy you like get screwed but racing is racing and each track has their own rules.
