Gordy Gundaker addressed Eli Ross’ kamikaze move on the final lap of B-Main 2 at the Show-Me 100 on Sunday night.

On the final lap of the race, Gundaker was in the third position and the final transfer spot for the main event and was in a spirited battle with Ross and Brenden Smith. Heading into turn 1 Ross threw caution to the wind and just kamikazied it into the side of Gundaker’s car. The contact sent Gundaker’s car up the track while it wounded Ross’ car ending his night. While Gundaker was trying to get the car back underneath him, Brenden Smith was able to sneak past him and get the final transfer spot.

After the race ended, Gundaker stopped by Ross’ stopped car and shared some choice words and sign language with him. He then parked his car at his hauler and quickly exited the car and seemingly began a hunt for Ross. However, he was waylaid by Lucas Oil officials and was seemingly able to calm down. Additionally, while it appeared Gundaker might have to go to the non-qualifier race, it was announced that he would receive a provisional for having the most points without making the show.

Gundaker addressed the encounter in a Facebook post recapping his Show-Me 100, “As most of the racing community knows I got ran over in that B Main on the last lap by a Hail Mary slider. Although I’m still not overly thrilled with it, Eli and I got to have a good conversation and I think for him it was a good lesson learned.”

“Everyone of us has done something stupid that we regret and in that moment it was good to hear him take accountability but also understand where my frustrations were,” Gundaker added. “We were the highest in points not in the race so we still were able to make it in to the Show Me 100 and roll off 26th! Battled all race long and got up to 13th at one point, lost a few spots late and ultimately ended up 16th.”

As for when Gundaker will be back in action, he shared that he will be “off a few weeks as we will be at a few summer nats events and then heading north.”

There’s nothing specifically listed on his schedule, but it does indicate he will not be competing in the Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway. The Summer Nationals Hell Tour kicks off on Tuesday, June 9th at the Brownstown Bullring. It will be in Missouri for the first time at the end of the second week on Saturday, June 20th. The tour makes a stop at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Missouri. It will also compete at Poplar Bluff Motorsports Park in Poplar Bluff, Missouri on June 22nd. It will also make stops at Benton Speedway and Springfield Raceway. In July it will also roll into Farmington Empire Speedway.
