Have you ever raced competitively wheel-to-wheel ?

A track under caution, is still a HOT TRACK, and therefore a "racing incident".

Sprint cars have very quirkey handling, tons of H.P. , and a hair trigger throttle. In several forums, from people who race them, it was proposed that he goosed it while flicking the steering to try and kick the rear tires away from the victim.
