00:00 The 7 trying to rejoin that 3 wide.
00:02 He wanted to run the bottom of the racetrack.
00:03 The 2 above him wanted to run the apron all the way to the bottom.
00:07 Here he is, the red car all the way to the left.
00:09 >> All this is fair.
00:10 Banging doors a little bit.
00:12 The 7 on the bottom of the racetrack on the apron.
00:14 That's not unusual.
00:15 But you pinch your car off so much running down there.
00:19 The contact with John Hunter Nibachuk did not help anything.
00:23 >> I actually think the 20, the 21, they're in the right.
00:26 That yellow line at most racetracks, that's absolutely the racing groove.
00:30 Just above it.
00:31 Here at Phoenix, in one and two, it is very common to see cars below it.
00:34 I expect John Hunter to enter right where he did.
00:37 I don't know if Allgaier thought he could have more room or just got too free and let's
00:40 ride on board.
00:41 >> This is the problem with Allgaier.
00:42 He needs to be told, being told 3 wide, 3 wide.
00:46 He never got as low as he needed to be.
00:49 If you're going to run down there, that yellow line means nothing.
00:52 You got to really turn left, get to the bottom.
00:54 >> When he tried to do it, he was loose.
00:56 He couldn't turn the wheel.
00:57 The back of the car wouldn't let him.
