Looked like Bowman Gray during, and after, the Modified feature tonight. Anyone know if anything was handed down for either of the two “incidents”?

Clue us in Chaz!   It works for Bowman, might help Wall !

Don’t like to be the one who points fingers. Been on both sides of the story over the years! All I’ll say is that of the four involved, three are second generation drivers. Wonder if the track itself had “welding Insurance” to fix that fence?

I would say that the majority of those reading this post were not at Wall Stadium last night, so a few more details might be helpful.

In the 40 lap feature, Kyle Scisco and Jimmy Blewett were having a knock down, drag out battle for the lead. Jimmy got bye him, Kyle got it back, then the yellow came out. While Kyle was warming his tires, Jimmy hooked his right rear & drive him nose first into the wall, maybe 50 feet from where they exit the track. Second incident, Steven Reed and Blake Barney where having a good go at it for maybe fourth or fifth place at the end of the race. One of the DiGiantommaso brothers tried to stick his nose in there. Steven got all kinds of loose going over the start/finish on the last lap but was able to save it. Reed then wailed the left side of the DiGiantommaso machine at the exit of two, driving it right front first into the wall. That led to about 50 minutes of down time as they had to weld up the fence.

Thanks Chaz!

Thanks for the additional info. I guess the constant "reviewing of the video tape" by the tower, and then penalizing those deemed to be "over aggressive" isn't improving things.

Wall has been in my rotation pretty heavily the last few years, but I haven't been there this year because of the numerous delays that were occuring each of the last few times I was there last year when everytime there was a yellow, the "tower" would hold up the action to review the video tape to see what had caused the incident (even if it was an obvious spin/racing deal) to see if they (the officials) were going to lay down the law and deem an incident as over aggressive driving, and send someone to the rear... or worse.

By "worse" I mean, if the officials determined an incident to be the result of a driver's over aggressive actions, and if those actions caused damage to another car, to the point that the other car could not continue, then the "over agressive driver" had to retire from the race too....  Which meant that in addition to the time spent reviewing the tape, fans then had to sit there while the damaged car was towed off the track... and wait... and wait some more... and wait even a more, while the crew of the damaged car determined if their car would be able to return to action. 

I'm not making that up.

From the times I attempted to sit there, in the stands...listening to rumblings in the crowd of "Now what are we F'n waiting for....,"  it took quite a while... To the point that you forgot what race you were watching and what had been happening up until that point.

The "They're reviewing the video" stoppage of the action are an absolute deathblow to any momentum the race may of had up to that point, but that's probably not something anyone in the tower would realize because it's all probably pretty interesting and probably seems real important to them, but to the majority of those in the crowd who again....  wondering..... "Now what are we waiting for?" 

I thought the dependence on instant replay and the numerous delays it causes throughout the night was to reduce "over aggressive" actions, but based on the recap provided in the post above, with all the "over aggressive behavior" this past Saturday, it doesn't sound like its working.

Instant replay doesn't work when it is used in an unlimited manner.   It is not an exciting part of the show for the fan, and it should be used sparingly..... And try as they may, to make it seem exciting, it doesn't make the show more interesting after sitting there pace lap after pace lap, to have an announcer finally declare after 5 minutes of more pace laps under yellow, that "After reviewing the tape, the officials have determined that it was a racing incident, and was not an over aggressive driving incident."

I wasn't there, someone posted this video a little while ago.  You be the judge. 

Video of the Modified feature - At 4:39 the action begins, and Sisco gets dumped at 6:38, the 2nd incident between  Jarret DiGiantomasso and Steven Reed occurred at 14:20.

Over 8 minutes of pace laps from the time the yellow came out when Blewett originally dumped Sisco on the frontstretch, to the time they eventually got back to green. 

I watch a lot of racing on Flo now and I just don't see those types of delays, but I don't watch Bowman Gray, and if that's what I'm missing, I'm ok with missing it.

I wasn't there, and in just one quick pass of looking at the phone video, looked to me like Blewett got alongside the leader, and then in the next set of corners (1 & 2), road him up the middle of the track, which opened up the inside for Sisco (who was in 3rd)... Sisco then took the lead, and looked like Blewett didn't like that, so he dumped Sisco on the frontstretch...  Then while under yellow, Sisco pulled back back up to the front of the field (directly ahead of Blewett).... and then after waiting.... and waiting... and waiting for the tower to make a decision, while still under yellow, I'm guessing that they DQ'd Blewett, and as Blewett was headed to the pits, he did a "pit" maneuver on Sisco, and sent him directly into the fence.

I feel bad for Wall Stadium.  It's pretty sad.

And zero results posted. I don't do Facebook. 

Thanks

So if I saw this right, the 76 drives the 20 up the track and loses the lead in the process. Then dumps the 31.

Did the 31 do the 76 wrong earlier and I missed it?

I never saw what was done to the 55 for him to stuff that guy. Hard racing.

Bring on the Sprints!!
