Qualifying Results

Johnson: "...Girl here speaking." *She sighs* "Welp, rather make the Finguy Clan proud, and stay in the ride. If something happens, everyone in the family's here, so... Stoker, don't even pull a fast one."

Cavy: Thanks guys for a great qualifying run of P5 @Redbull_Racing

Pericles:" I don't see why not try at the end of the season, but this is my home track so I have to put on a show! It has been great driving the the HPM guys, they can make you laugh sometimes. I'll Miss it."

This is twice now I got the Pole stolen from me unbelievable

Our goal is to get Cavy into championship contention.
Maybe getting me into the Top 10 in points can be a side goal but we'll see

Fitzwater needs to Lead the most laps, and Win to stay in the title hunt

Well right now I'm just trying to be a spoiler, and get a win at sometime this season

Wright:" Oh boy, 2 races in a row with Nick, Don't hate me bro."
Pericles:" Yeah, if you win this one, I won't be mad."

Well I can easily say that was the worst race of the season.

This was a fun race. I had some issues at the beginning and couldn't rebound but Cavagnoro having a great run and getting the points lead is a win in itself. Scavnicky is definitely on a role after getting wrecked by someone that shouldn't be on an oval. Just so happy right now.

Felt like I was an Elites race there and it felt like home. Coming home in the top 10. If I didn't have problems on Pit Road I probably could of won.

Cavy: Hard work paid off in the shops. We worked on the car the whole night. And we had a FAST car after the last pit stop to pass Seth Cole out there in the closing stages. Cavy claims P1 in points today after Miami.

Johnson: "......Dammit all..." *Slams helmet on ground* "Now some UNKNOW is going to be in his SEAT?! Now some, someone else stole away a spot that was offered by me?! NOW I LOST IT?! I wrecked, got damage, was in the TOP 5 practically almost in there! NOW HE'S IN THAT CAR?!" *Sniffs* "...Not... fair..."

To be fair, Collard isn't an unknown. He's a British Touring car veteran and has been a sub driver for Team Thunder and RRE with multiple accounts of decent finishes.

(Either way, the 'Family' is pissed.)

If you're wondering how you fell back to 18th, you only took two tires but you must have had an issue because you went on pit road like 4-5 seconds longer on pit road than others who took two.

Sounds like something to screw someone over by that team.

(@Booyaka- ...I actually wondered that.)

...Now I'm thinking there's a redo in order for the team.

SUMS Has a new plan

After an amazing run at Homestead, SUMS has adjusted the below 16th deadline. They will have Collard in the Car For Le Mans, Sweden, Dubai and Chicagoland. However, Skyla Johnson will be driving the 74 in New York and Seattle. Stroker had to comment: "We agree that Skyla Johnson deserves another chance. She was in the top 5 and it was her pit crew who messed her up. We will point out that this pit crew did the same for collard, but he recovered. Nevertheless, we are offering Skyla the car for those 2 races.

Pericles:"...."

I forgot to mention this @Shelly, but I had to reconfigure the schedule for issues I don't want to discuss.

Wales GP "Race of Legends"
Atlanta
Dubai GP
Indianapolis
Chicago

Alright, we are going to run Coallard at Wales, Dubai and Indy. Johnson at Atlanta and Chicago

Johnson: "I rather run at Indy. That's where my first win anywhere was."
