Joshua Tigges took his best finish of the year finally capturing his first top-10 when the Collegiate iRacing Prospect Series took to the high banks of Talladega for an eventful night.
After purposefully skipping qualifying, Tigges started at the back of the pack and remained there for the first half of the race, saving fuel to put himself in a good position towards the end of the race. After a mid-race caution, Tigges was only one of two cars to stay of track, not needing to pit due to the fuel he saved. Starting of the front row, Tigges spent the next handful of laps battling for the lead before being shuffled out of line and drifting to the heart of the action in the middle of the pack.
In the middle of the action, Tigges found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time when the line in front of him went spinning, ultimately collecting Tigges. After using his fast repair Tigges spent the rest of the night avoiding wrecks at the back of the pack.
Once the white flag flew, he developed a full steam of momentum and went blazing along the bottom lane, passing multiple cars before having to bail by almost spinning a competitor. Losing the lead pack with less than half a lap to go, Tigges was set to coast his way to the finish line, until a glimmer of hope emerged out of the final turn. With the leaders spinning and the lead pack left scrambling, Tigges came flying through the chaos, not lifting through the smoke of spinning cars, to cross the line in P6.
