I think I would find another driver.
That same driver that went red in the finals of the $10K race with a transmission going away also won the $30K Shootout earlier that day. Manny had 5 .002 lights in two days, and a TON of other double-oh lights as well. You might do better to keep him.

There was no crossing over. This was a Footbrake race. A lot of Footbrakers block the tree. With a 1-second spot and the level of concentration necessary at this level... I chased a couple of cars this weekend... I'm staring at my bottom bulb and nothing else. You may realize something as an afterthought, but in the moment, I can understand how it could happen. It's just one of those things. FYI, Alford ran out of gas on the starting line.
