Southwest Lost Dean Wilson's Shock, He Still Finished 12th

Fire Power Honda’s Dean Wilson finished 12th place in the 450 main event in Oakland. Dean O probably wants more, but considering what he had to deal with this weekend, it ain’t all bad.

First, Southwest took his shock out his bag and then couldn’t locate it. (Side rant: Airlines are such trash sometimes, especially Southwest.)

When @SouthwestAir takes my shock out my bag and doesn’t tell me 😭 Now I can’t even locate where my shock is now and don’t have it for race day. Sick🤟🏼🤟🏼

Still, on a borrowed shock, Dean finished 12th. Not too bad.

The shock wasn’t the only thing Dean was dealing with. Nope, his knee “blew up” a few days before the race.

Well kinda sick of writing 12th place posts but here we are🤦🏻‍♂️ I just need to be better plain & simple 🏴‍☠️Oakland was a bit interesting as tsa took my shock out my bag, Raced with a borrowed one. My knee blew up a couple days before had to get it drained😩 But we will keep workin🔨 pic.twitter.com/hPNysmebqQ
