    Caraway video

    Looking for video of last saturdays (3/31/12) mod race at caraway. Particularly the Miller / Seuss wreck. If anyone has it, or knows of someone who does, can you please contact me @ Rockingham boat 603-329-5625 ask for Steve or Bobbi. Thanks

    I wasn't there so I won't comment on what may have happened but I do know this. I've seen Andy race a number of times and I've never seen him run anybody bad. Last year at the NSS at Caraway I had the privilege of doing gas for Matt Hirschman. While Matt won the race Andy had the better car
    and we only won because of track position after our pit stop. Andy was all over Matt and had plenty of opportunity to turn him but never did. Matts won
    now four of them and Andy has yet to find victory lane there but drove him with total class. He also was all smiles after that race and gave kudos to
    not only Matt but the entire team as well. That is rarely seen anymore. GD shame that the 11 is in a heap. That Mopar is the fastest Modified in the South no doubt. I wish he would quit down there and come back up here. (i'm selfish). Glad he's OK and I'm sure that team will bounce back. Would be nice if the sanctioning body would sit on the BS. That $h..it just ain't racing.

    Not as conclusive as I would have hoped for with the poor track lighting. That being said.....most people can...and will draw conclusions based on past performance / actions. I don't think they would be in error by doing so.

    Too hard to call for me. The way the video was shot and the lightning doesn't help the conclusion in my book

    Still picture from Caraway

    LW Quote from Speed51 article:
    "I didn't drive into him I just held the bottom"

    Looks like #09 in front of LW held the bottom, and the car behind LW held his line.
    Sure looks like LW either moved up or slid up, but clearly didn't stay on the bottom.

    I don't want to take sides but it's near impossible to access blame looking at this dark video. LW has a reputation for sure but it also looks like

    Andy got a little loose off there and that may have contributed to it. A racing "deal" ? Maybe but I don't think us armchair quarterbacks are able

    to render a judgement on this one.

    I looked at 5 times, it looks like the red car(LW) is a little higher then the other cars in the same lane. Other than that observation, I couldn't really tell if it was deliberate or anything other then a racing incident. Certainly could tell that was a hard hit though, thankfully Andy was fine.

    I think the bigger question is WHY are the officials letting this happen???? Why has LW Miller gotten away with driving like an A$_hat for so long????

    Seems to be that if you penalize him a few times he will relearn how to drive clean, or he will retire... in either case you will have a better race and maybe some teams might be able to race week after week with the equipment they have instead of racing once, getting wrecked by the "LOOSE WEAPON" (which he is VERY PROUD TO BE CALLED) and not being able to return for weeks, months, seasons.

    Out of curiosity..... how many of you see a simularity from this incident and the TC/Preece incident from speedweeks? Other than better lighting ofcourse....

    Omg Ted was 7/8ths of a car length ahead...... and that was only because of a Cheater crank, fuel, tires ,nitrous, aero package, trick trans, boosters, big nerf bars to allow clearance for the header spacers and of course traction control! Stop the hate lol

    I don't see it the same at all. TC had position on Ryan and Ryan knows (or should know) that TC isn't going to give an inch in that situation.

    I don't see Teddy as the bad guy on this one. LW and Andy have had a thing going for awhile but I think they are the only ones who really know

    what the deal is.

    I don't think he'll make through Saturday's race without some kind of payback.
