00:00Back at daytona, you can see the yellow on the upper left and the number 11 T.D.S. Racing
00:05L.M.P.
00:06Two car on the right off track, and it is the first full course caution of the day.
00:11Here's what happened.
00:12Hunter McElroy in the western horseshoe kind of talked about this earlier day about getting
00:18high and turn one.
00:20Same thing here in the West Horseshoe.
00:22He just gets up on the high side.
00:24He's thinking about going around the G.T.D.
00:26Car.
00:27It's down on the line.
00:28He probably breaks it.
00:29It's the exact same spot he had been breaking, but he gets up there on the dirtier part of
00:32the racetrack and just cannot get the car slowed down.
00:35He doesn't want to lock the brakes.
00:37He tries to stay in control of it, but he just runs out of room.
00:40I'm thinking the damage is going to be minimal.
00:42The tire wall is pretty deep.
00:44He's kind of nudged into it.
00:45Perhaps no suspension damage.
00:47The problem is the time that it takes to get the car out and for him to get back around
00:51a bit.
