Video included in the article ^^^

O'Hara would've/could've won the Vance & Hines XR Showdown prize for first in the championship ($25,000), plus, $3750 (Vance&Hines/Harley-Davidson purse) he would have collected for the race win, minus the $7500 he will earn for finishing third in the championship.

Tough pill to swallow for Tyler I'm sure, he is a standup guy, so not a malicious move.  I don't agree with "The Pass", but I love to see the battles even if it crosses the line every now and then.

Hard to imagine how he might think that would play out any differently than a relegation to last.

That's Scott Russell, he has forgot more about racing then anyone here. This crash pretty much ended his career.

They both have Flat Track backgrounds.  Flat Trackers will routinely put their hand on a rider to let them know they are beside them, so "don't put me in the wall" when they are drafting in a tight pack. 

O'Hara claims Barnes was moving back towards him so he put his hand out to let him know, but the video shows it was clearly a grab of the arm.  I don't think he pulled back on Barnes, but he was clearly shocked and backed off the throttle out of dumbfoundedness then anger.

Tyler looked a little sheepish on the cool down lap. 

Didn't Kenan Sofuoglu punch somebody (Foret?) going down the front straight in a WSS race this year?
