Did anyone see what happened to Christopher Bell in his heat race on Saturday? I thought I read on Twitter that he pulled off. Did he have a problem? If so, what? Would have been nice to see what might have happen if he had a better starting position for the A.

On the PPV, they suggested engine trouble but I never did catch anything else. If they put in a new engine, it was not mentioned on the broadcast.
As an aside, the PPV coverage was fantastic. I loaded it up when it came online about 5:00 central. There was not a single buffering or stuttering issue all night. Top notch.

He probably pulled off when it was apparent he wouldn't drive in. It's pretty common at Eldora in their big events when driver's have a gauranteed spot because of qualifying time, and at that point he knew he was in since Schatz wouldn't need a provisional.

They changed Engines after the Heats. I have a pic on my phone of them changing engines, but I don't know how to upload it.

Off of turn 4 coming to complete lap 8, the engine on the 14 sounded very sour. As he entered turn 1, he reduced his speed and coasted around the high side of the track which brought out the caution. They announced at the track they were changing engines and I know fired it off after the heats.
