| Probably could've had a better race. Spun out before green flag pit stops. (got loose on the straightaway lololol)
I'm still happy with that race though. Managed to keep up with a good part of the field before then through a race run which I've never been able to do, so that is definitely an improvement. _________________ NR03 Career wins: 15 Career championships: 1 | |

Sorry for getting into you Baker, wasn't expecting that to happen. Although lolwtf with you and pitting? Fortunately, I'm not pissed at you for bumping me, luckily I didn't hit anything... I went down pit road at least 3 times and went 43-44 each time and it would not clear my black at all... Didn't speed in, didn't speed out, didn't merge early, didn't get in wrong... Guess it was a stop and go, but I swear I saw pass through... It's just like, okay... I've tried this three times, I'm 3 laps down, can you help me out one time and just clear my black flag? I tried 3 times to clear it myself and it wouldn't work... I'm just lucky I didn't spin entering the pits when the pack was right behind me, that would've sucked big time, not only for me, but for everyone else, too... Can't do anything about it, but move on... _________________ Solstice Racing main Admin.

| Funny thing is, nobody else had that problem. Twice I looked at your entry, and you were 48 and 53 at the timing line both of those times. _________________ NR03 Career wins: 15 Career championships: 1 | |

| Guess so, idk... Just used to all the other tracks starting at where the pit lanes start, not before and after pit road ends... Last time I went in I made sure I was right at 45, but guess I was above or something... Started with Chin getting into me, then ended with me not knowing how to get through pit road... _________________ Solstice Racing main Admin.

| I guess I kept getting in pit road too hard each time, I thought the last time I got in fine, but it didn't agree with me. Also, it was probably a stop and go penalty instead of a pass through like I kept trying, it's just frustrating when you can't make it long in a race because you can't pit worth a shit... lol
I struggled all of practice trying to find stuff, but every lap outta turn 2 I got extra tight after the first lap. Happy hour I never practice pitting because I hope on the fact that there's a timely caution (which is bad), but I spent happy trying out an Atlanta setup (which was way better) and didn't get around to pitting anyway.
In the race, I was under Emerson and slowed up to prevent myself from hitting him while also trying to not get loose and spin out anyways, Chin just didn't have enough time to check up, which I can understand, I was doing 178 and he had a way faster car than me anyways.
It happens, and I did the best to control my emotions last night and thankfully didn't say anything that I regret and didn't do anything to get anyone pissed off at me... I just can't make or edit a setup to save my life, hopefully I can start figuring stuff out and have a better shot at good finishes in the Chase. _________________ Solstice Racing main Admin.
