After watching the Antioh video several times... it does appear that BK cut Suggs off and caused the big crash. Not sure why BK didnt just keep his line but he tore up some good cars...... IMO.

There is a gas and a brake in Evans car, along with a steering wheel. Are you saying BK held Evans gas down and turned out of the infield into the oncoming path of other cars? I don't think anyone is arguing that BK clipped Evan, and cause him to veer into the infield. Still it was Evan alone who stayed on the gas and steered back onto the track. BK is a great driver and there are a lot of things he is capable of in a car, but to assume control of another drivers mind and body would be a stretch, even for him.

If your looking to place blame. Blame the water truck guy for flooding the track and making poor track conditions. Track was so wet that the water truck sank in turn 2.
Obviously you have never sat behind the wheel. If you did you would understand its not as simple as your are explaining. It was a racing incident, narrow greasy race tracks and double file restarts are a recipe for disaster. It tore up alot of race cars, but you cant point blame on this one.

I am just trying to offset some of the Evan Suggs bashing on here earlier this week. This kid is so close to his 1st 410 win.

So now the water truck guy stayed on the gas and turned back onto the track?
At what point does the guy behind the wheel of the race car need to take responsibility for things?

The Suggs family are a class act. Good luck Evan at Tulare on saturday.

I too don't think Evan needs to be "Bashed". Still blaming everyone but him for what happened doesn't seem right. If this would have been Danielle Simpson who drove through the infield and turned back onto the track at full throttle and took out cars you people would be hammering her with no concern.
