Ashley Force Wins First Race!

Yeah Jack, the transitional bump at 150' in the left lane was where most drivers were having problems.

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to imagine JF whispering to Austin Coil "Austin, make this clutch lock up real real fast, know what I mean? wink wink". But she did run faster than John, like you say, giving her lane choice and may have won whether he hooked up or not.

I'll take it at face value and think that JF made her work for it and he blew the tires 'cause of a crappy lane and clutch set-up. :) I like to be an optimist sometimes.
