Capitol Offense: Venison and Day 1 Standings

Day one of Capitol Offense is over and you can expect the usual awesome recap from Murilee Martin on the 24 Hours of LeMons' Car and Driver page following yesterday's BS Inspection post.

And you can compare our predictions with today's standings below.

But we'll tell you this: Three-time runners-up Pro Crash Duh Nation have the worst luck in the crapcan world. While leading the race this morning, Mother Nature turned on them. Their Alfa Romeo Milano clipped a wild deer that had strayed onto the Summit Point Raceway surface, knocking them from P1 and giving the driver the brownest moment of his or her life.

Luckily, Three Pedal Mafia's Boat was running just behind and had in-car video recording. Video after the jump.





Watch the black car as it brakes what appears unnecessarily hard before the deer clips the top half of the windshield and then nearly collects the Three Pedal Mafia driver.

Meanwhile, there are some great races going on for the slightly luckier teams. Here are the standings after the first day of racing.
