The only question I have is when will Delaware park the 6 truck for just being stupid?
To come down pit road with no brakes and run into a car was just plain dumb.
There is normally people pushing cars out on pit road and he could have hit one of them.
I seriously hope next weeks drivers meeting is a wake up call.

What happened, did the 77 team make a complaint, and is there any video?

This post is from the 77 super stock team in regards to the pit road collision. Our team was told to get out to line up asap for the SECOND SEGMENT of the the showdown event. We were trying to find a problem with our car (engine miss big time) and as Darrell came out to line up saw there was cars that should have been ahead of him that were not in line yet. He  backed up to allow room for cars ahead of him. While he was sitting on pit road he  got rear-ended by the 6 truck as he came off the track at the end of his feature. Apparntley he had no brakes and decided to come down pit road instead of going down the front stretch. As he approached our car he thought he saw someone walking in the outside lane which was wide open and decided to run into the back of us instead of hitting someone. Good choice i guess but we did not see anyone in the outside lane at the time of the collision. He did come to apoligise after we came in at the end of the second segment. Unfortuntley the damage was done even further at this point. The bottom line is no one got hurt  seriously and we were able to continue racing. Hopefully the next time this driver looses his brakes during a race he will make a better decision as in get off the track earlier and safer.
