    According to this article Doran not only had a flat tire for most of the first race but a damaged rear suspension for nearly all of the second. (the article says it was left-rear susp. but it looks to me like it's the right-rear with a significant toe issue)

    Mirra is doing well so far, posting the fastest practice times. Very well given this is his first time competing in a MINI. To see results, click here and choose a tab. 'Practice' is the only option for now but the others will surely be updated as the weekend progresses.

    I forgot it was on so didn't watch. Mirra apparently did well and made it to the final but wasn't classified at the finish (DNF, I think). I haven't seen anything explaining other than a few words of apology, sort of, during Tanner Foust's interview in this video (starts at 2:03).

    Here's a little video of him talking about the car. Mirra's bit starts at 1:45.
