Shit was hilarious. To Scott's credit he didn't let it rattle him and came back to dominate the next race.

Unfortunately I was at the other end of the track. So many DJR supporters left when they heard he wasn't going to be racing due to protocol. As a fellow Kiwi, I find it hilarious that the Americans think SVG is going to flunk. They underestimate the guy and his abilities. Even the commentators were in awe when Gizzy was drifting the track after his wins. Once he's got the ovals sorted, he will be up front more, I'm sure.

@@mattrzewnicki6343 If he makes SVG his target, he'll live to regret it, SVG will be the craftiest racer he's ever taken on. His ability to set up a race is well known, he's a master at saving his tyres, anyone that thinks he was having trouble passing hill before the bump has no clue, SVG was just following him around saving his tyres, he already knew where he was going to pass him, and he had the tyres left to drive away from the field, I've seen him do it so many times...
Shane made a career in Australia in being the fastest, the most adaptable, and the most mechanically sympathetic driver in the series. He also knew how to bump and run, despite it being penalised in Supercars. Now he is in a series where its a legit tactic, he is in his element. And if we hadn't worked it out, he has a good memory. If Hill spears him in the future as retaliation, it won't end well for Austin.
