#160 HUMMINGS ROAD CT MYRTLE BEACH SERIES#

Ronnie Silk finished second and didnвЂ™t even go to victory lane for an interview. Someone that gets into an accident or spun. There should be a rule that the provisional goes to someone who tries to race in, not save his tires. I guess he knew he would get a provisional and used that to his advantage. Miraculously the car is fine the second half of the feature after all the tire saving. He had 6 laps, most at a slower than competitive speed, on his tires at the start of the feature when everyone else had 15 to 30 laps. Oh lets put in a real effort in the consi, nope pull in after 2 laps in which his fastest lap was 2 seconds slower than most the field. It was clear the 60 was saving tires all night long. Honestly I can see why people would be upset.

Unofficial Finishing Order of the Tri-Track Open Modified Series Haunted Hundred At Seekonk Speedway The weeks of preparation and the thought that goes into it.вЂќ The strategy and how I executed it will be what is talked about but there really is so much that goes into it. We stuck with what we had because tires always size up differently and you never know. So we saved some of our original tires and also left whatever advantage a change tire gives you there. I definitely saved some early and I also had the option of a change tire and we left that in the pits. вЂњIt had risks because but you started dead last, you still execute the strategy and pass a lot of cars. вЂњIt had its risks and you know it required a little bit of a strategy play,вЂќ Hirschman said. A lap 98 caution set up a green-white-checkered finish, but Hirschman was able to hold off the charges of Silk. Silk moved to second past Swanson on a lap 84 restart. Hirschman used a lap 61 restart to get by Dowling for the lead. I had my original tire and I felt that I was going to roll with it and stay out there.вЂќ In my mind it kind of balances things out. вЂњThe change tire gives you that added boost at the end, but I elected not to take it. вЂњDuring the race we definitely obviously saved tire between the qualifying coming in early, but I elected not come in for the change tire,вЂќ Hirschman said. On a lap 59 restart Hirschman got under Les Hinckley III for second and quickly got the bumper of Chase Dowling out front. On lap 57 he moved past Matt Swanson for fourth and quickly moved by Keith Rocco for third. The car was just good enough to stay there at the end.вЂќДЄfter starting 27th, Hirschman spent the opening stages of the event biding his time.Д«y lap 38 Hirschman was up to tenth. The car was actually good on the outside so we hung tough there.

Then we caught some breaks with the right line. We had a really good pit stop and got out before anybody else. We probably were a seventh or an eighth place car. Said Pasteryak: вЂњMatt Hirschman and Ron Silk do not mess up that is why they finished one-two in this deal. You are always turning so it is slowing you down all the way around.вЂќ This is a hard place to be fast at when you are tight. We jumped the fence and got just a little too tight. I was a little too loose the first run so we made an adjustment when we took our tire. We will go back and try to get better for the next time. вЂњWe just came up a little bit short and Matt was a little bit better than we were today. вЂњIt was a good try, we gave it our best effort and that is all you can ask for,вЂќ Silk said. Silk, who won the Tri-TrackвЂ™s Open Wheel Wednesday event earlier this season at Seekonk, finished second Sunday. Hirschman came into the event tied at the top of the series standings with Ron Silk of Norwalk. But because I won doing it the way I did it вЂ¦ itвЂ™s going to be the big topic of the week. вЂњHad I not won itвЂ™s probably not even a discussion. вЂњI know that because I won itвЂ™s going to be highly talked about it,вЂќ Hirschman said. But I was more comfortable with that and I didnвЂ™t mind the challenge to start dead last.

YouвЂ™re also assuming the risks of starting dead last as well. I wanted to make sure I had the opportunity to not only win the race but go for the championship in the race. вЂњI didnвЂ™t think it was worth the risk of possibly wrecking the car like in a consi, which tend to be wreckfests anyway,вЂќ Hirschman told RaceDaењњT. After the heat races were concluded Hirschman was guaranteed that provisional and opted to essentially be a non-participant in the consolation heat. He saved tires in his heat race with that hope that he would get it.
