Tomzak complains about car

Derevatious Tomzak was quite slow in the Dash Cup race at Mallory Park, he blames the car for his lack of speed. "The car was off, it would break loose over the bumps which made me quite slow. I am physically exhausted after this one. I feel that this track needs repaved or something, because this track is BUMPY!"

O'Reilly Slams Sanchez After Mallory Park Debacle 

"[Expletive] hell! What the [Expletive] was he doing?!"

That was the radio transmission from a usually laid-back and upbeat Andrew O'Reilly after being involved in a hard crash on lap 23 in the second race of the Mallory Park GP. 

While trying to navigate through some heavy traffic towards the back-half of the field, O'Reilly collided with the lapped car of Sean Sanchez, which sent O'Reilly hard into the outside tire barrier. O'Reilly careened back into traffic, and luckily no one else hit O'Reilly. At least two or three other drivers were involved in the melee, including one flying down pit road to try to avoid the wreck.

After the race, O'Reilly was none too pleased.

"It's the same morons each and every week who have no spacial awareness and have no idea that there are others on the racetrack. [Sean] Sanchez cost us a points paying finish, because he doesn't know how to get out of the way of others, especially when those others are fighting for points. Hell, he can't even get out of pit lane properly! Hopefully we can wrap our heads around our STS Arrows and we can get back to a competitive state. Just really pissed right now," said O'Reilly, as he later disappeared into his team's transporter.

A 3rd DNF in 4 races to start the 2013 means that the Westockin Racing Team is even further down in the points. O'Reilly and company now hope to regain those lost points at several circuits where O'Reilly has already visited back in his rookie 2012 season.
