People who are seen as idols and are held to higher standards can be vulnerable and they are still human. That’s true for Lizzy Musi, and her car, Bonnie, who have been going through some challenges recently.

The Pat Musi Racing Engines-powered Camaro and the team have been close to flawless to win over Ryan Martin at NPK’s Tucson Invitational. Eventually, though, it would feel like everything had worked its way out. After countless hours by the crew spent getting the car right after some “unpredictable” tendencies that would have the machine swerving to the side unpredictably.
In fact, the racer says that she was pretty nervous making the pass after the adjustments were made as the car seemed to want to put her in some pretty dangerous situations. However, after putting in the hours, both Musi and her crew seemed to think that they had the machine figured out after working some late hours to get the car fixed and they were ecstatic after making it through the first round of the race.
Musi lineup up against Ryan Martin's Fireball Camaro and, as the lights went green, it looked like she would score a comfortable win. However, the substantial lead would quickly turn into a nightmare as the suspension issues that they thought were ironed out appeared to come back, jerking the car to the side and sending Musi into the wall. Not only that but the car would slide across the track and hit the other wall as well.
