00:00As I think being struggling a little bit more as we
00:03Dive into the latter stages of this race and that gap really closing
00:06Tom Tate
00:08Race winner WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca also at mid-Ohio next time out
00:13While Chris Clark's only win in the season came yesterday
00:17So I'm sure he wants to make his return to victory lane as soon as possible
00:21But he's running some awkward lines and very wide as they come out of the final corner
00:26And Tom Tate gets a great run up to turn one
00:31Yeah, I think Chris Clark's running out of grip
00:33I think you're absolutely right Tom Tate
00:35Oh, they touch and there's a huge amount of Michelin tyre smoke thrown into the air
00:39As the champion elect goes down the inside into turn one
00:42This is the last lap of the season now
00:45And on the first corner of the last lap of the season
00:48The man who is going to go on and win the championship has taken the lead
00:52But there was contact there as they came under the Rolex bridge
00:56And it was tyre to tyre
00:58Front right of Tom's to front left of Chris Clark's car
01:03And they are still battling as they go through to the end of the S's
01:11Now heading uphill
01:13Getting right onto that red marked area
01:17Two drivers left
01:18I think we've got one lap after this actually
01:22I may have called that one a little early
01:27So
01:29We'll see when they come round
01:30I was so busy looking at the car side by side
01:33I didn't see if the white flag had gone out
01:36But I don't think it has
01:39Time is about to elapse
01:43David Anderson by two seconds at the front of the field
01:46Has done everything he could
01:47This weekend to try and put the pressure
01:51On Cole Loftsgaard
01:54But it's not going to be enough
01:56Now he gets
01:57The white flag
02:00And I did say it would be
02:02All down and when Devon crossed the line
02:05And they were busy watching the Dark Horse Legends of course
02:08Coming through
02:09Always a tough one
02:11When you're battling for your own race victory
02:13And you're not entirely sure
02:16When the race is going to end
02:17Because that is
02:20Decided on someone else's position
02:22On the track
02:23So they have still got
02:26The rest of this lap
02:27And 3.4 miles to go
02:29But I think
02:30That this has been
02:31And
02:32Is this not just
02:34A perfect snapshot of the season Arjuna
02:37This has been a perfectly judged race
02:40By
02:43Tom Tate
02:44At the head
02:45Now of Dark Horse Legends
02:47Didn't have to win this race
02:49Didn't have to push too hard
02:51But he's timed his run to the front perfectly
02:53He'll take the championship
02:54And for Devon Anderson
02:56Now on his last lap
02:57The last lap of the season
02:59He's going to come up
03:00A handful of points short
03:03The points gaps look big here
03:05But we give big points
03:07He came into this race
03:09He's 110 points down
03:11With a potential 140 point swing
03:14On the table
03:15He's grabbed some more points
03:17Back from Cole Loftsgaard
03:19In the round 3 racing car
03:21But it's not going to be enough
03:23But what a great battle
03:24We've seen all year
03:25All year long
03:27Arjuna
03:28And after what was a bit of a clumsy race
03:32In some ways
03:32A couple of races at VIR
03:34It's just nice that we've come here
03:36To the Circuit of the Americas
03:37One of the few venues
03:38That's been a staple
03:39On the Mustang Challenge calendar
03:41Since its debut
03:42A couple of years ago
03:43And had two races
03:45With some good racing
03:46But more importantly
03:47No cautions
03:48Drivers really challenged
03:49Over 45 minutes
03:50To manage these race cars
03:52That challenged them
03:53All the way to the end
03:54And that includes
03:55Chris Clark
03:56Back up the inside
03:57Down at turn 11
03:58It's a drag race
03:59Down the back
03:59Straight away
04:00In contact
04:00Between the Dark Horse
04:01Legends leaders
04:05Oh no
04:06I don't believe it
04:08Chris Clark's car
04:10Almost going over
04:11And just as yesterday
04:13We'll get the
04:15Dark Horse SC out
04:17In fact we won't
04:18Because the checkered flag
04:20Comes out
04:21We finish under double yellows
04:23But without the SC
04:24Having to come out
04:25The pit lane
04:26We'll get back
04:28To that incident
04:29In a moment
04:29At the front of the field
04:31Devin Anderson
04:32Did his best
04:33And wins by 3.3 seconds
04:35Second place
04:36More than enough
04:37For Cold Loftsgaard
04:38To clinch the championship
04:40For 2026
04:41Round 3 racing
04:42Cold Loftsgaard
04:43Wins the 2026
04:45Mustang Challenge
04:47North America
04:48In Dark Horse Legends
04:49Tom Tate and Chris Clark
04:51Tangling
04:52On their last lap
04:54Of the championship season
04:56As there was a little
04:58Stumble
04:59Coming out of the
05:00Left-hander
05:01Onto the back
05:02Straight
05:02By Chris Clark
05:04Who was leading
05:05In the all-white
05:06Pearly motorsport
05:06With the AG machine
05:07And Tom Tate
05:09Up alongside
05:09Side-by-side contact
05:12We'd seen that
05:13Earlier on as well
05:14With a bit of tyre
05:15Rubbing
05:16It will be a top step
05:18Of the podium
05:18For wheelhouse
05:19It will be the championship
05:20For wheelhouse
05:21And it will be the championship
05:23In Dark Horse Legends
05:24For Tom Tate
05:25Who comes through
05:29In second place
05:31It will be Brad McCall
05:33For round 3 racing
05:35And Paolo Salvatore
05:37I reckon
05:37Will be back
05:38On the podium
05:39Again
05:39Now let's work out
05:41What happened here
05:42Clark had dived
05:43Down the inside
05:45Trying to take
05:46The lead back
05:47But he goes
05:47Was a little bit wide
05:49Oh now
05:52I'm not sure
05:53Racing room
05:54Was given
05:55On the outside
05:55There
05:56By Tom Tate
05:58Yes
05:59His competitor
06:00Is
06:00Well
06:01I was going to say
06:02He'd gone off the track
06:02He wasn't off the track
06:04He still had wheels
06:05On the red and white kerb
06:06That might be a penalty
06:08You know
06:08That might be a penalty
06:10For the number 8
06:11For not giving
06:12Racing room
06:14It was a good pass
06:15By Clark
06:16But his
06:18Michelin tyres
06:19Are still
06:20Over the white line
06:21Not even on the kerb
06:23Mmm
06:25It's under review
06:27It's under review
06:29Chris Clark
06:31Unhappy
06:32And the championship
06:33Wasn't going his way
06:36Oh Tom
06:40Well
06:41So
06:43Hmm
06:46Your thoughts
06:47Arjuna
06:48The one thing
06:49That first
06:50Sprung to mind
06:51Live
06:51Was
06:52That Tom
06:53May not have
06:53Given racing room
06:54But this camera
06:55Angle
06:56Maybe helps
06:57Tell a bit more
06:58Of the story
06:59You can kind of
07:00See how
07:00The track
07:01Narrows up
07:02A little bit more
07:03As they head
07:04Down the back
07:05Straight away
07:06Kind of looks
07:07As though Tom
07:07Maybe thought
07:08That the
07:09Track may have
07:10Been a bit wider
07:11Thought that maybe
07:12Chris had a bit
07:13More room
07:13Or maybe
07:14Just thought
07:14That he was
07:15Slightly more
07:15Clearer of him
07:16But it was
07:17An unfortunate
07:18Misjudgment
07:19There I think
07:19And I don't think
07:20It's going to
07:21Change the championship
07:22Because again
07:23Tom just had to
07:24Finish fifth or
07:25Higher
07:25To wrap up
07:26The Dark Horse
07:27Legends championship
07:28But definitely
07:29Not how
07:30They wanted
07:30The season
07:31To come to an end
07:35And they can't
07:36The thing about
07:37That is
07:38They can't
07:39Give Chris Clark
07:40Back
