JUSTICE!!!! HALEY MOODY WINS!!!
YES! It was pretty awesome. Qualified on the pole, nailed the start, opened a small gap before the competition caution. Outside front row missed a shift on the restart, it was smooth sailing for her after that.
Invert put her sixth for the second race. Honestly, a seven-car invert would have been more beneficial than six, because she got stuck on the outside. Fell to 9th, worked her way up to about 7th before a caution. She tried the outside on the cone rule. It didn't work. Fell back, got back up to 4th or 5th. Another caution. Tried the outside again. Still didn't work. That was the time she crashed.
The whole second race was pretty chippy throughout the field, and she was dishing out just as much as she was taking. Nothing dirty, just bumps here and there. The track was really slick, it showed in all the classes. I think she just tried a little too hard to get back to the bottom when there was a car already there, but I haven't had the benefit of a replay. Other car ended up driving up and over her hood after she bounced it off the wall. Worth noting the other car had just caused the previous caution on the other end of the track, so it's possible he might have just ran over her, both literally and figuratively speaking.
Happened to walk past her talking to friends and family on my way out the gates after Deac McCaskill had finished running away with the Late Model 100-lapper despite the best efforts of Jonathan Findley. Appeared all involved were in good spirits, so the rough ending to their night didn't seem to be overshadowing the big win. Good for them.
