Owner is a joke. Hope the place shuts down and he loses his a$$. Beautiful night in Mercer not a drop of rain. As was stated above lots of other tracks. It's a shame Mercer had to end up in such poor hands. A lot of good history is going to be forgotten.

Bill49 Thanks for posting video.  That is exactly what I saw in turn 4.  Matus tried to get a rolling start and got everyone rolling faster than the leader.  If everyone is single file I don't think a caution happens.  I also feel the flagman, with cars all out of position, should have waived the caution prior to the start and warned the drivers.  That would have avoided a caution as well. 

I was at the OSW race Saturday and sitting in turn 4.  What I saw was the problem being Matus in the 22.  Coming thru turn 4 he was beside the 41 car trying to get a rolling start on him.  If I was the leader I would have waited for him to fall back as well.  When Matus speeded up the 3rd , 4th, etc. cars stayed in line behind him.  When he slowed to fall back into single file everyone stacked up behind him.  I don't understand what everyone was watching but the leader never changed his pace he just waited for the 2nd place challenger to fall back in line.  Not sure of the exact rule for where to start but if the 2nd place car would have stayed in line I don't feel any of it would have happened.   Final thought............could the flagman have waved the yellow and warned Matus to stay in line ???  That would have avoided everything.  All in all in was a big two days of racing.
