I debated how to word to this but I have to say something, I saw one of the most unusual things happen Saturday night at I-55 Raceway. Some of you may have seen this if you were on the back stretch but some of you, especially if you were on the front stretch may not have seen this.
Tim Ratajczyk got a flat tire on the rear or his Late Model in the MARS/UMP feature event with the first caution. Tim pulled into the inner pits on the back stretch and got out of his car, went to the outer pit area where he parks got a new tire, brought it back down to the inner pits, got the tired changed and climbed back into his car. Tim was able to join the field before the green flag flew. In Tim's favor, but unfortunately for McBride there was another yellow from a pile up on the front stretch and Tim was not left half a track behind the field, but how amazing that he went and got his own tire and completed this task while the officials were lining up the field.
Tim Ratajczyk you were priceless. There should be some kind of award for this.
I am sure other drivers might have done this but I have personally never seen it done before. Kudos to you!
Price of Admission - $20.00 (this particular night)
Price of Bottled Soda - $2.00 (out of the machine)
Watching Tim Ratajczyk - PRICELESS!
For everything there is MASTERCARD
Good luck for the rest of the 2007 season. Visit www.RatajczykRacing.com
