I got Reddick top 3 Hamlin outright Blaney over Truex Gibbs over Logano so far wrecks have been in my favor
Nascar has OT so the race doesn’t end under caution, eliminating the need to red flag a race at the end. Red flags it anyway and keep the cars who were on a sketchy fuel strategy from running out. This has Roger Penske’s bony old fingerprints all over it.
I cut the cord and only pay for TV during football season so I completely lost being able to watch the race. It's annoying as shit
Another runner up finish for Tyler Reddick. He’s Cal Naughton Jr from Talladega Nights. Nothing wrong with silver baby.
6 was leader, 12 was outside. 5 was behind the 6. As they were coming to the line the 6 was out of fuel and pulled off to pit. That should have put the 12 in charge of the restart, but looks like 5 might have jumped it at a minimum he got off way better. 12 thinks nascar made the 5 the control car, but they said it was the 12.
I know you don't want infinite OT but kinda sus to not throw a caution after the 41 crashed and couldn't get up to speed with a lap to go, then throw it the second the lap was done. Not the end of the world but you wonder if that yellow doesn't come out earlier with a different driver leading (tinfoil hat away).
The only reason those guys have an issue with it, is because they didn't win. If they were in the same situation, with basically their season on the line, you can almost bet they would've done the same thing. Hell, on the broadcast one of the commentators said, "if he's there coming into turns 3 and 4, we're going to see contact." They knew what was going to happen before it got there.
Doing it to one car is one thing, but two and the spotter allegedly screaming at him to do it is another thing entirely.
And usually you just get bumped off of your line when someone is faster than and you can still race for the win. He straight up wrecked both Logan and Denny. He had no chance of making the corner. It was a desperate move just trying to get to Joey. It's not like he had any chance of passing him otherwise
He prob could have gotten away with the first one but think also doing it to Denny I think was what made it really egregious
Everyone in nascar who talked about this said what happened crossed the line. This was necessary and helped to clearly define that yes this was where the line is crossed.
I think this was above any beyond just about anything I've ever seen. If he had just bumped Joey then I think it would have been ok. Denny also hit the wall really hard and has had shoulder problems so there's another aspect to it.
If it was just the move on the 22 and the 3 pulls a win, I would hope they still make this call, but I’m not sure they would. Once the 11 happened it was a total shit show and they had to make this call. If it was just the 22 and the 3 gets beat by the 11 I think nothing gets called. So many people have said how going down the backstretch there was no way they thought the 3 had a chance.
Joey has done it to people before so they prob would have let it go but you can't wreck multiple cars that have passed you.
Yeah that would have been the big test. The 3s move was way worse than what the 22 has done in the past. Most moves people cite they are within a car length of each other. The 3 was no where close to be able to make a move.
