Did anyone happen to hear what caused the collision between Wilkerson and Pedregon? Did something break in Tim's car?

Look like cylinder's out on the right side, drove the flopper over the center line. But I'm sure the wannabe crew chief's
on here will chime in. Me I'm just a wannabe fan...

Very often when the fuel FCs lose cylinders on one side, it shoves the car over so hard and fast, even if you're off the throttle, the momentum is so great you can have the wheel cranked all the way and it won't do a thing. They can be evil.

Just look at how Alexis was CRANKED to the left to keep the car off the centerline when she dropped a cylinder... These cars are insanely dependent on so many acts of simple physics for 4-5 seconds: thrust, downloaded aero, lift, friction (traction), structure dynamics (chassis flex)... Amazing the forces in play for a few seconds. That is a marketing approach being totally missed in selling the sport.

Imagine how hard across the centerline Wilkerson would have been if they were still running the laid back headers.

All I know is Tim's checkbook sure has taken a hit lately. Hopefully he's done with breaking his cars.
