Just cosmetic. Hit a tree just before it came to a stop after it decided to go off-roading just past the finish line!

Car hit the bump in the left lane at the same time the chute grabbed air causing the rearend to lift off the track. That unsettled the car and it left the track and slid about 1/8 mile in the grass. Right before it came to a stop it hit a tree!

That sucks, but could have been much worse. Congratulations on a marked improvement in the performance of your challenger.

Darn attack trees jumping out from the woods! I saw it from the stands. Driver claims there was a bump in the track as he pulled the chute and it made the car go airborn. From where we sat it looked pretty crazy. Hate it as I was pulling for you guys.

Stoopit cops had to run down the dirt/gravel road as fast as they could so they could play me too, even though the safety crew was on scene. Stirred up a bunch of dust that blew onto the freshly sprayed track delaying an already behind race schedule as Tyler had to re-do things.

So ... possibly in response, the track is repaving the shutdown area.

Sorry to hear, glad the damage was not catastrophic. Still sucks.
