I had a really good car tonight, one of the best cars I&#8217;ve had all year. Just not my night. I got stuck behind some slow cars and got dragged all the way to the back. I started coming back up through and the thing was on. Like I said, it was the best-feeling car I&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p>I got to the (No. 2) car and just got impatient and wrecked him. It was 100 percent my fault. He&#8217;s a friend of mine, and I hate to wreck anybody \u2013 never mind one of my good friends. Just 100 percent my fault.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW BAD WAS THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR?<\/strong><br \/>\nBad enough that we couldn&#8217;t continue. Bent the lower and ripped the brake line out. I had no brakes.<\/p>\n<p>It just sucks. You get all hyped up all week because you&#8217;re third in points and making a climb back up with an amazing run with four straight Top-3s \u2013 I think it would have been five tonight \u2013 but apparently, I didn&#8217;t want to see the end of the race tonight. I don&#8217;t know what I was doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASCAR Whelen All-American Series: Bobby Timmons Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report SCARBOROUGH, Maine \u2013 Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, finished 18 in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 40 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 13.
