Kopcik and Hirschman are tied for the third in the standings, 19 points behind Hodgdon. Hirschman has won eight of 10 series titles since 2014.
Great race – I’m impressed how the Bowl runs their show. Money saved his car till go time. All and all it was a nice day- no rain😀
There’s no question, tri track packs the house. And what a race it was. The 07 sent the 15 beyond the crystal mall and all the way the U.S. navel base. I guess karma got him back and he majorly screwed up that last restart. Can’t wait for sids view to come out.
Did I say navel? Naval
Huge mistake giving Matt Hirschman the inside lane on the final restart ! Matt got the jump and was clear the 07 by the flaggers stand , end of story.
Was there also. Great weather. Great show. Don’t understand why the 07 did not take the inside????
Hirschman restarts better than anyone running a Modified. It doesn’t matter if he’s inside or outside or which track he’s running. He gets 2-3 car lengths on every restart, an amazing feat considering the track is a little different every time as rubber & weather change it constantly. I respect the talent and expertise immensely, but I’d just rather not see him win most of the time. I enjoy seeing different winners. Reguardless, his success rate is rather amazing compared to the rest of the competitors.
