What happened to Menard there?

[eehwkram]

Is anyone one a scanner or know what happened to Menard there at the end?

He was 8-13 most of the day.

Came out of the last pit stop in 14th, was running in 13th and then dropped back to 18th (where he finished) in one lap.

Did someone hit him?

PAUL MENARD – No. 98 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Fusion (Finished 18th) – "As good as the car was earlier I’m kind of disappointed with that. We were in the top 10 all day, but we had two sets of tires that just weren’t wearing like the others and that kind of threw us for a loop. We kind of messed ourselves up by taking two tires there at the end because everybody behind us took four, so we were kind of a sitting duck. All I know is that today could have been a helluva lot worse, that’s for sure."

Still a solid run compared to where he was last year!

I really think they're for real now, he's been in the top-10 in points for 2 races now. :D

Dang, two sets of bad tires in a row? He had another very good run going and then fell off at the very end. Still, he has been the flagship car for RPM so far this year.
