Bonehead of the Week: Talladega II

[HoneyBadger]

Think I gotta go with Ty Dillon ... again.

Honorable mention to Carson Hocevar who is probably about to draw the ire of Rick Hendrick.

Hendrick engineers. They talk so much about the “team” they have calculating fuel mileage etc. They were fast enough to not have to pull that ****.

Penske strategy for having to come in for fuel with a handful of laps left.

I was going to pick Denny for basically stopping in the outside lane to turn left and pit. That could have caused a big crash. But I'm going with whoever figures fuel mileage for the 5.

I've got a second one, this gimmick called the GWC. Yesterday when the 17 got punted, the 24 and 5 were running 1st and 2nd, and they were one and half laps from the finish. If the race had finished the advertised distance, that's where they would of finished under yellow. It happened at the worst time possible, during a playoff race, and could have repercussions in the next few weeks from one GWC.

Another 'feature' that no other form of racing thinks is worth adopting.

Talladega just keeps on giving.
Austin Hill for flipping off the crowd after win. Heard about it on DBC with Jimmy Spencer.

2025 will be remembered by Hendrick Motorsports as the "Year of the Unforced Error". Who needs competition when you keep inventing new ways to beat yourself?

Supposedly there were some fans heckling him and that's who he was flipping off.

Bad look, but whatever. He's really leaning into the villain role hard though.

Penske has fallen on its face this year across multiple series.

 

[StandOnIt]

Dr. Chimp (perfect name) has been going from track to track harassing Hill for quite some time along with doing his troll thing on social media.

Ah, another one of those guys who claims to dislike a driver but that's the only driver the guy talks about?
