Great job on all those 2nd's Chad and being happy to wait for a mistake.
When you got out front, and he got by you in the S-turns, it seemed like you were struggling with line choice through there...
Yeah, I was just undecided on what I was doing, I think. From the Heat and the main event, the lines just changed a little bit, and I was sleeping a little bit and didn’t choose my lines quick enough. Once he got by me, it was good... I mean, he kind of put it up the inside of me, and I didn’t know he was that close – I knew he was close, but I didn’t expect him to pass me right there – so I kind of was like, “Whoa!” [Flinches out of the way.] But it was good. I just kind of stuck on his wheel and tried to go with him, and just sit there and see what happens.
It seemed like you stayed pretty much the same distance behind him for a long time, and then he stretched out a little bit right before he ended up crashing.
Yeah, actually, right where he crashed, I made a pretty big mistake and blew that whole section, and he yarded me pretty good – probably about two seconds. I think he was a 45 [second lap] and that lap, I was like a 48, so I was a little bummed on that. And then it was just kind of tough. It just stayed the same after that, and the turn before the finish line kind of took me a while to figure out a line there as well. The line he was taking was awesome, but for some reason I wasn’t comfortable hitting it, so I had to change it up so I felt comfortable. After that, I really started gelling with it and going with it. I knew we were getting deep into the lappers, and I was hoping they would hold him up and I’d be able to get back on him, but he made a mistake, and it made it easy on me.

At this point it's pure speculation to second guess what Reed was thinking when James clicked off 7 straight. The bottom line is once he lost the points lead he raised his game and got it back.
I have no idea why you asshats want to put an asterisk next to Reed because bubba can't keep his bike on two wheels. The method of calculating the Series champion has NOT changed in a very long time.
I fail to see how you can bag someones strategy when its working!!
JS fans seem to be just trying to save face because they spewed too much shit, now when it looks like Reed might win it, they do the classic lets change the rules to suit my beliefs NOT pehaps my beliefs need adjusting. Funny stuff really.
