MÜLE_9242;7375264My fastest laps of the race came when I was being pushed by Niop, and then by gokartman. 33.9's were amazing.
I think everyone who raced today who wants a seat for Nationwide, can get one easily. gokartman, Owens, Fraiser and especially iforce did very well in their first ever race.

MÜLE_9242;7375317You gave me the same times as the 2-time reigning Sprint Cup Champ, plus you qualified outside pole. You did a great job.
Carb, that'll just be for Indy. You have to let off in turn 3 at Motegi, as you can't take it flat out.
my strategy must have been horrible, I think because I pitted by myself and spent so much time alone on track that that is where I lost all my time. I had an incident free race, pitted twice, was doing 34.6s on my own and better in the draft, but I still finished behind the people who crashed.
first NASCAR race was fun though, ran as high as third, kept out of trouble, good learning experience, now I know I have to work on strategy.
1. I had to leave as I had to go out. Had I not left I likely would have finished around 9th-12th. Didn't have that good of a setup as the moment before I would have left the qualifying session to adjust my aerodynamics, qualifying was over.
2. Very fun racing for as long as I was in the race. I enjoyed it and am hoping to be part of a team this season. Like I said, the first and sixth races I will not make, but otherwise I will be perfectly fine with the schedule.
So yeah, I had a ton of enjoyment and will be a part of this series, hopefully as a main driver, but I can tolerate being a reserve.
And isn't the GTP NASCAR draft supposed to be tonight?
I thought bump drafting was going to be prohibited in NW, but meh, I'll guess it helps newcomers to get used to how they race in SC.
If bumpdrafting is not allowed in Nationwide, I'll take a seat in Sprint cup for the full season and i'll not race in any Nationwide race.

You should be running Sprint Cup, no matter what. You ran great today.
