Bonehead of the week: All-Star race

[MRM]

I have a few candidates this week.

Ryan Preece for driving over the choose "box". I know it was hard to see. But they do this every week, every driver should know generally where it is.

Kyle Larson for tagging the wall in a race winning car.

Michael Waltrip for dropping the yellow flag and for Fox pawning him off as a serious person.

The numb nuts in the modified race who turned the 3 head on in the wall.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Michael Waltrip for accepting the mission of acting the clown. It went downhill pretty quick after Chase left him hanging on the gridwalk.

No doubt about it: SVG taking 4 tires.

 

[HoneyBadger]

The 6 team.

I’m going with Bubba Wallace & the Gibbs boy for not transferring from the open to the ASR. They have great equipment & resources which makes things even worse.

Has to be Preece. He'd possibly won if he didn't run over the stupid choose arrow. PLUS, there were orange blocks on the wall about where it was so all he had to do was hug the wall either side where those blocks were.

Flip side, NASCAR for not having a visible choose arrow. When I first saw what happened we had to go back and watch again because we hardly could make out the choose arrow on tv.

How come not one other car or truck had that problem except for preece? Seems like it wasn't an issue to me.

That's certainly a fair point and I don't disagree that Preece should have been aware. Nontheless, it clearly should have been more visible which resulted in them painting it before the ASR.

Hate to say it, but I wouldn't consider Larson for tagging the wall in a fast car. He does that a LOT, and usually prefers that kinda high risk setup and driving style.

Also, and I admit I already said it on reddit, but Waltrip dropping the flag was brilliant. Before he did it, it was a bull**** promoter caution. Because of the drop, it was a genuine debris caution, far more respectable. Not that he did it on purpose, but accidental brilliance is as good as it gets with him.

Also, whose decision was it to give the team owner famous for starting an illegal caution the right to call an unnecessary caution? Too close to home.

The caution was out before he dropped the flag, dropping the flag legitimized nothing except waltrips stupidity.
