I'm sure I'm far from the only one who noticed Courtney turn right across Duncan's path/nose coming off of four for the final checkered flag last night at Waynesfield.  Neither driver mentioned it during the post-race interview.  Really?  Or did the #7 just go over the berm shooting the car right?  Pretty sure I'm grasping here trying to give the benefit of the doubt?  Watch the highlights at about exactly 5:01 of the Flo highlight feed.....

PS.  Prove to me it wasn't dirty....

A few guys did that last night. Reinhardt drove into Boguki, I think Cap ran into Wise. I'm not sure if it was they drove too hard into 3 and couldn't get it turned or what. As the rednecks say, rubbin's racing.

I'll have to watch it again.  It didn't seem dirty live, too me.  I will say Cap looked like he got super tight in the center of the corner and it drove his car up the track.  Didn't look good but didn't look intentional either.  Honestly, it's probably two guys that are pretty good drivers trying hard for the runner up position.

 

These cars are so fast and Waynesfield just magnifies it.  It makes it easy to make a mistake.

I'm guessing you're a Cole Duncan fan or are tired of seeing Sunshine win, but I think you are grasping. I've watched TC race multiple times and never thought he was an overly aggressive driver. NOT a fanboy of Tyler but myself and others have taken notice when he races, in addition to when a move can be potentially considered "dirty"

I watched that situation many times on reply.  I must say it did indeed look like Courtney intentionally drove across Duncan's line.  Courtney started his diagonal line well well before the wet inside and drove straight in front of Cole.  That line was totally different than other lines he had been consistently running.  So my opinion was that Courtney knew exactly what he was doing.  He wanted to cut off Cole.  Cole still finished ahead of the NOS 7 at the line completing a fine 18 to 2 run.

In the spirit of complete disclosure -- yes I'm a Duncan fan.  But I have nothing against any driver.  Just like the sport.

I directly asked Cole about this situation at last Saturday nights Atomic All Star Race.  He said they talked about it afterwards and everything between them is fine.  He agreed that Courtney needed to avoid the wet spot in turn 3.  Cole was totally calm about answering the question, and it seemed trivial to him.  He was concentrating on winning....which he did in exciting fashion.  Took home a nice $ 15,000 check.  They were even setup side by side in the pits Saturday night.

So there you have it.  Nothing more needs to be made of it.
