Just got sent pics of Broadco. Hope they can get it fixed sooner than later. Looks pretty beat up. All that matters is that Grant and Chuck are ok

Glad the Broadco guys are ok, pretty violent roll!!! My son noticed Stihl had no water coming out of the port exhaust, what caught on fire?

Your son is observant. I believe it was, in fact, the port engine that caught fire.

Quick correction, one I just made in the story: WHM was never ahead of GEICO. I confused CMS and WHM (not that the colors are all that close, but at the time I had the live feed screen feed minimized so I could take notes).

All apologies.

In the one turn I could have sworn WHM went past Geico for a brief time. I could be wrong though.

As anyone who watched the race could see we were having technical issues from the start.... we slowed to a crawl at several points during the race managing the problem but no one passed us. We lapped everyone on the course except for Johnny and Jeff ....who btw ran a flawless race. Congrats to them and their crew.

I'm hearing Broadco might be out for quite a while, maybe the whole year.

Any info on this Matt??
