The only shot Ronnie Wrenn had was to leave because if he grabbed off the gate he would have gotten away 6th. I also saw an interview with Ron Burke after the heat and he stated that he instructed Wrenn not to duck off the car. Had he fell in second or third and won the elimination, everyone would be calling it one of the best Jug drives that they ever seen. It was definitely a "Checkers or Wreckers" type strategy!
Got to disagree man
It was only a 5 horse race, not 6
He could of easily ducked in on the rail 4th in the first turn and then likely would have been 2nd over at the half.
Anything is better then getting hung the entire mile in an ELIMINATION race where 4 of the 5 horses advance also burning up your horse for the final
He thought Bartlett would let him clear on Fragment
He was wrong
I like Ronnie Wrenn Jr...but that was a bad drive
