How do the Consolation races work? Can guys transfer out of them into the main? How many laps?

There was a yellow flag flying just before the tree in the background, but it looked like it was blending in with the yellow track banner.

Sexton just cased the leap really bad. Right into the face, bounced over the bars and got up limping. But went around last lap and cleared it. Lots of the 450's are landing on top. Think it's the headwind

Thank you for the update. They showed him getting up off the ground and he looked pretty rocked.

Yeah I was pretty surprised to see him do another lap. Had to be hurting. Good for him though. I wouldn't have wanted to head to the pits with that crash on my mind

Having the banner is more important than a flagger being able to get a flag out far enough to have it noticeable.

Flagger should have been standing up on that little hip jump waving that damn thing and pointing to the far side of the track! That EASILY should have been avoided. Just my 2 cents

I was thinking that, too, but I wondered if there's something in their contract that says "Do NOT put yourself in harm's way" I think _I_ would be able to handle it better, but I can't vouch for The Common Flagger. Do they Know Stuff? Or not? I mean, not everyone is experienced and common-sensical as us Vitards.

True I’m not sure if they are allowed to do that or not but in my experience I would have. At my local track I flag on Saturdays and ride sundays and even flag for the races we hold so I feel like I know a little more then the average Joe but then again who am I lol. Just frustrating when you see something like this that shouldn’t of been

I picked Jerry for my fantasy Friday, thinking he was a sneaky solid pick (didn't work out lol). Stoked to see him running good today though! Hope he has some good luck.
