Did Conner take the detour on purpose?

Almost looked like it

Did Conner take the detour on purpose?

I was actually wondering that same thing. It’s safer.

Connor cooked the corner, but navigated the penalty box like a pro.

Cz earned a fan today. He’s gonna be a force

 

[Hotrod]

What a thrill to witness new racing phenoms !
His decision making is waaaaay off the charts in a good way.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nice touch with that safety net, Conner!

Cz vs svg on a road course=epic

 

[Naitch]

Connor’s got some of that Big Bad Ross in him.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Will Brown’s performances in the races he’s run the last couple years prove that SVG is just a freak of nature.

He always seem to have terrible luck when he comes over here. Lots of mechanical failures, got caught up in the lap 3 crash at Chicago as well.

[Conover]

It’s obvious why many compare Conner to Gordon. Jeff made some amazing moves very early in his Baby Ruth career…moves that define instinct and touch. Same with The Prodigy. It’s like Neo in The Matrix…doing things so quickly and precisely! Great run and win…glad he got the opportunity to take the lead back.

he did say he tested it before the race

Take every advantage of the rules you can. I'm guessing if this was on next year's schedule, that would be a stop-and-go.

I see quite a few drivers test the detour route during practice.......in all the races I go to there. It seems no one creates the same type of detour so it makes sense to try it when you're not in a panic.

I remember Kyle Busch overshooting turn 4 at Sonoma repeatedly to practice getting back on the line.
