So this is how you knock off the winning driver in the last lap? Basically do a Pitt maneuver on him and then you get to win because with him out of control he causes the field behind you to have accidents?
What a waste of a race.
Siht happens at 200 mph.
The crash https://youtu.be/p11IUYaf4XM
I think the guy who won was in third at the time of the accident.
They were all racing bumper to bumper.
And if anything, Newman was aggressively blocking the car behind him. Some may be of the opinion that he caused the wreck.
I remember when Dale E did that at Bristol in the last lap...they boied that winner too.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Ryan Blaney was pushing Ryan Newman to the win as Blaney had no room left to make another move. Blaney spoke about how their bumpers were misaligned causing Newman to spin out.
No. It was a driver realizing he couldn't get past his teammate so he decided to make sure the teammate won by giving him a push draft. Unfortunately, he caught him off center and spun him. Not an unexpected outcome given the way they were maneuvering across the track.
Rubbin is racin!
As long as thats official policy for Nascrash, I cant be arsed to watch it. Its killed and injured too many drivers and spectators.
The guy that spun him did not win.
The spotter from Hamlin is heard saying shove ..shove...sidedraft the hell out of them...meaning blaney and newman..(paraphrased). I posted the audio clip.
That said, that is what they do when racing. NOthing abnormal about it.
But that clip does show the Spotter telling hamlin about debris and ryan was upside down.
My thoughts exactly, after watching J. Johnson and many others wreck their cars because of the same crap and the fact that it happened last year, I have to conclude that NASCAR wants these wrecks to occur.
I have heard people whining that he was at fault but the way I look at it, the driver behind him bumped him out of the way and almost killed him in the process
