Go Tequila people racers! I say this only because my name is not Taylor and I was not lucky enough to be a part of that family. Not that there is anything wrong with my family, just that it is way more boring and has zero racing involved in it.

So I was drinking and virtual driving when the Delta had its fatal run in. They said it hit a parked car on the racing line. If that's so, that really blows. The Delta was rocking this year. 1'38.xxx practice 4 lap time. Wow!

Yeah... local yellows coming off the straight in a blind corner a car is stalled. A lot of cars nearly hit it and the DW was just coming too quick and barreled into the back of it. I hate full course yellows especially for stalled cars but that was not a good situation.

How hard is it to put a full blown starter on frickin race cars!? I'm looking at you IndyCar.

I didn't realize the Delta wing was still being used, so I was surprised to see. The woman that was in it for the short time I watched, was driving the shit out of it.

I would think the PC cars have full blown starters.  But I could be wrong given IMSA does not force teams to shut the car off while fueling like they did in the ALMS.

Still it looked to me like the officials took way to long to call a caution for this incident.  I'm all for trying to keep it green but turn 1 is in my opinion too dangerous to play that game.

also kudos to Chevy for letting their drivers race each other.  It made for good TV.

Yes, yes and more yes.


Also, 736 laps completed. That's 2,804 miles. Holy shit!

I found video of the crash. Legge was not at the wheel at the time.
