A busted mirror. A damaged rear. And somehow… the drive of a lifetime. In the very first intermediate race of the Pro Oval iRacing era, a sim racer named Sandeep — expected to be a backmarker — found himself suddenly faster after wrecking his car. With the right rear smoking, the car yawed through corners like a beast, and Sandeep was gaining time everywhere. No one understood what was happening, including him. What followed was one of the strangest, most unbelievable wins in sim racing history.
From passing Josh Berry to becoming the origin of a sim racing meme (“Sandeep’d your car”), this race became legend — and controversy. The moment gave him one win, one unforgettable night, and a term still joked about today. But Sandeep’s own words reveal a mix of pride, shame, and peace with it all, like a sim racing Carl Edwards walking away on his own terms.
