Hey there Ashley.
Love the article. Just one small correction. Montanari did not go around on lap 36.
Not sure what happened on that lap but he did not spin out at all.
Thanks.

I think that may be where I had just a white car roof so if it wasn’t Montanari, it was probably the 11 now that I think back. I’ll change that right now.
