Yes. Unfortunately, it was the last race of a session that the Corvette team only partially competed in. They are fast and they wanted to end it with a win. They had big time contact multiple times during the race taking out several competitors. LG motorsport is on record stating that they were getting contact from the factory team even when they point them by. The factory team was the only team to do so.

If the only thing that happened were the events of the last laps I would say that it was just the red mist of the race, but they just didn't conduct themselves in the same manner as when they are contending for the championships.

And to think, I was almost feeling sympathy for GM a little bit. Ha! That teaches me. A pox on their house.

Now that I have ALL the facts, I have to agree I would have done the SAME thing.
