3rd round Stock Brainerd

Can anyone explain what happened in the 3rd round race between Jurgens and Irvine? The shown winner did not make it to the next round.

Jon has a post on Facebook, his opponent bypassed the scales so Jon was reinstated.

Would love to hear what actually caused that...excitedness, forgetfulness, heat of the moment brain fart, medical or sleep issues, issues with the car, family emergency....etc.

I bracket race mine also and get so used to not scaling it in brackets at Vegas and the time slip booth is just short and offset on the other side...was excited with a win earlier this season, and save for an official pointing me over to the scales line I almost drove right on by.

When I know I did not win I do lately...but none of us should for just this reason.

Wins are hard enough to come by, that win then DQ had to be tough to swallow.

The intentional few are much different than the accidental few.

Unfortunate drive by for Jordin. Being first pair, best park it on the scales and say good morning.Seems Jon was having issues with his ride to add salt to the wound.

I can tell you what I was told...
Jordin was the first pair down the track that morning. When he was coming to the scales, the sign said they were closed. Tech official was coming out of the trailer giving the thumbs up or down signal. Jordin only saw the thumbs up and thought he was good to go. I wasn't there to witness it but I have no reason not to believe him. Ultimately it was Jordin's fault for not stopping but I think there could have been a lack of good communication from tech official.

The sign at the scale and fuel check can be confusing. I find myself studying it each round. I believe it?s green when open red means closed. But I totally see how green means go and red means stop. It?s a bad deal and I feel for a driver that makes this mistake. I?ll bet it doesn?t happen again.. what I?m not sure of is I heard rumblings of the opponent being reinstated without going across the scale. My interpretation of the rule is if neither weigh both will be DQ.
