Interestingly, NASCAR was forced to implement a "competition rule" seven years ago after Clint Bowyer purposely spun out his car (which Bowyer denies) to force a caution with seven laps to go, so that his teammate could advance his position in a restart.

After an investigation, Michael Waltrip Racing was penalized owner points and Waltrip eventually closed up his shop a few years later.

The competition rule now expects all drivers to make advancing their own position their #1 priority at all times.

To me, Wallace is a driver on par with Danica Patrick, and is using his unique position to further his off-track interests more than his on-track abilities will allow.

hmmm didn’t know that- pretty rotten of him to do if he did it on purpose- but so hard to tell as drivers run on the very edge of traction all the time and the slightest little thing can make the tires break traction- hitting a corner at wrong angle, hitting a curb, or even just a small bump (That’s how close they are to losing traction all the time on some tracks)

I’d have to see the incident to see- Was he going stria hgt at the time? In a corner where traction is razor thin line? (I race online- iracing, and we’re always right on the edge of losing traction- just a slight bump from another car- and i mean real slight, can send the car spinnin- and that’s online racing- I imagine in real life racin it’s even worse)
