Two things: 1) watch the tape, Darrell came down on Corey – Corey’s car stayed true through the corner. No one will say this because narrative already set. 2) where is Darrell’s call to the trailer for approaching the track side when race is active. I’m pretty sure why neither of these issues will be brought to light.
