Indy Invasion: Get The Corn Up Out The Cobs

An uneventful night at the Iowa Speedway ended in a solid run for Alex and Zach. Both started towards the front of the 15 car field that featured a pair of heavy hitters from the SOF race on Monday.

A couple of early cautions dwindled the field down to just eight cars, after dodging the early wrecks, Alex and Zach spent most of the night running 5th and 6th. Final pit stops took place just before the 100 lap mark, Alex got his machine in and out quicker, leapfrogging Zach for 5th place.

Unlike at Mid-Ohio, Zach was unable to catch his teammate for the position and took him his second consecutive 6th place finish. Alex took the final top 5 position.

RESULTS:

Alex: Start 5th, Finish 5th, Inc 0, Led 0, -17iR, -.-- SR (4.99 A)
Zach: Start, 4th, Finish 6th, Inc 0, Led 0, +8iR, -.-- SR (4.99 A)

Next week the series heads over the pond to Hockenhiem for the series first visit to the formerly great road course.

Indy Invasion: Friendly Fire

An epic duel for the ages! Tim and Zach fight to the near death for 6th at Mid-Ohio!

Zach started 4th but spun off track on lap 5, falling to 11th in the running order. Tim dodged near calamity in the early laps and spent much of the race running in the top 10. After the lone pit stop was completed, two laps earlier for Zach than Tim, the duo found themselves running 6th and 7th.

Zach rode behind Tim for several laps, not gaining or losing any time. As they took the white, Zach was running on near empty from pitting earlier, and still trailed Tim by just under a second. Using their push to pass, Tim and Zach kept the gap until Tim caught a lap car coming out of the esses and into Thunder Valley. Zach took advantage and dove under Tim and the lap car to make it three wide into the final few corners.

Tim led into turn 11 but had to back out of it early with Zach on his outside. With only 0.35 gallons left in the tank, Zach hung on through the final two corners to steal 6th away from Tim on the final lap.

Next week is the 2nd oval of the season and first visit to an oval under one mile for the Corn Up Out The Cob 150 at Iowa Speedway.

RESULTS:

Zach: Started 4th, Finished 6th, Inc 3, +26 IR, +0.13 SR (4.89 A)

Tim: Started 9th, Finished 7th, Inc 0, +13iR, +-.-- SR (4.99 A)

Indy Invasion: All Dead, All Dead

Zach started the race up front and held on to the top 5 as a run on early yellows slowed the race several times. Tim moved his way up through the field to run alongside Zach when the two made their first pit stops under yellow on lap 35. On the ensuing restart, the entire field raced each other hard, causing Zach to drop back. Tim took advantage and drove to the front of the field.

With Tim holding on to 2nd for most of the run, Zach finally had an opportunity to get to the front, sending it three wide into turn 1 and making it stick. He would fly up through the field, going from 11th to 4th in just three laps.

However it proved to all be for naught as the 3rd place car stuck it three wide under Tim and the leader into one. Naively the driver kept it on the seam and spun down the track, over-corrected, and came up the track and obliterated both Tim, Zach, and a few others behind.

"Jesus Christ dude, I lifted and it still didn't save my life" said Tim on his radio. "$%^! Why the $%^# would you make that move? Three wide with 40 to go! Yeah, I made that move but I made it work." A frustrated Zach in a post race interview with Extravaganza reporter Steven Spock.

RESULTS:

Zach: Start 5th, Finish 14th, Led 11, Inc 2, -59iR, --- SR (4.99 A)
Tim: Start 11th, Finish 15th, Led 1, Inc 4, -51iR, -0.11 SR (4.64 A)
