Richie...was DQ-ed?

I thought he agreed to pull aside at the end of the race? Was there a protest?

Richie was behind the eight-ball all day. First, he showed up Sunday morning on the the last day of the very first event of the year looking for an initial logbook inspection on a new car, with his 15-minute qually session looming. Second, he didn't have everything up to snuff, so he had to make some changes on the car to get signed off on the logbook. Third, he signed up for ITR, thinking it was "the class for old World Challenge cars", but didn't have enough time left to change to ITE. Finally, instead of simply apologizing and agreeing to take a dive in the race (he said he was just there to get some track time) he pretty much dared Maynard to protest him 'cause it "didn't matter" to him.

Hey, just Richie being Richie, that's why we love him.



Car runs strong, though...

He had a times that would be a new track record, so pulling aside with an illegal car would not right the wrong. He was DQ'd by Steward action based on observations of an illegal wing by Tech. He was cool with it. He should have been in ITE.
