Definitely caused some mayhem here. I call shenanigans on the pit stops. I was tractor beamed into my stall. Not happy about that. But Michighan should be a nice change of pace. Though it's rather boring to watch, it's definitely fun to run wide open through most of it. I don't doubt we'll make it exciting. I'll update the post with a short video highlight reel of Pocono. Just haven't had time as of yet.
