That was wrong, Mikey.
Yep, Jr made a mistake.....at least he was in the race!
As if MW doesn't have enough people mad at him already. Whew boy he's done it now....he's the reason I don't watch that show any more.
He should be at his race shop figuring out what's wrong with his cars that can't qualify and fix that lame story about not knowing who put the funny junk in their fuel instead of flapping his mouth. BTW the suspended crew chief Hyder is back at his shop...he just can't be at the track. In the beginning they tried to say he did it and they were gonna fire him, but I guess not.
As I explained yesterday [and this is for anyone now reading the thread that may have missed it - not you] TJ was rattling on and on to Jr on the radio about taking two or four etc on the pitstop, so Jr was caught up in that and since Jeff was a lead lap car he just followed him in. Lapse in concentration but not dumb ass for sure. In the "riding" notes Hmiel did jump in at the last second which was too late and said the pits were closed.
They should have discussed the tire out of the box and the officials calling one and not the other which Nascar says is a judgement call.
