**Audio Discretion advised** Sh*t show Friday night Taladega race. One of the worst ones i've raced, and yet one of the best ones I've finished.

**My microphone is on, but I mistakenly put the stream audio at half. So there will be times my voice is loud compared to the stream. My apologies. Still wanting that perfect nothing-went-wrong stream...it's not this one**

Not realizing I hadn't saved the title and description before the stream, it is apt to describe how absolutely horrible this race was. I led the second most laps, and the most in any race I've competed it, I had the worst safety rating in a while, but ... a calamity of hardware shutdowns, a very chatty chat that couldn't get out of its own way, that drug me into it, and one of the best finishes of my career...

this was definitely a race ... and one that I'm glad I finished, but it was hell to get to it
