Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

I mean, guys, **** happens. Elliott got wrecked out of a top 10 on the last corner of the race and drove through the field at near full speed during the cooldown lap to get back to him. We calling him hotheaded?

Drivers get pissed about how they get raced. It happens.
 
What a sh*tshow.

And NASCAR wonders why no one takes them seriously anymore.

Elliott can get hot headed too yes. See: 2023 Coke 600

Chase has been told to take a week off and think about after on track activities. Suarez also wrecked drivers before for retaliation, but the 23 constantly is pissed it seems
 
Agreed. I wanna see the guy succeed, and he was definitely wronged by Bowman during the race, but you can’t be walling a guy at the end of a cooldown lap when his net is down and he’s probably loosened his belts.
yeah, like wait til after the race(and his VL celebration also) and talk to him then tbh, that would've been better.

Some folks still would've hated that also, but it would have been better.
 
To me I wonder if nascar almost has to do something to Bubba there. I mean his window net was down and he put him into the wall pretty good.

Honestly I think someone at the organization needs to sit down with him and set him straight. He's got talent, but his own mind takes him out more often than not.

I like Bubba. But he needs to grow up. It’s almost every week with the meltdowns. And run ins with guys for 17th.

His teammate is racing for wins every week. He needs to be careful. There are better guys than him out there that would probably do more with the ride he currently has.

The pressure’s getting to him and it shows. If it weren’t for all the sponsorship he brings his seat would be burning up.
 
Honestly, can I call anyone hot headed? I'd be a hypocrite y'all see how I post on here :XXROFL:

Drivers lose their tempers, we all do lol. Bubba most definitely does too, but he's not the only guy.

Hell, I was a Carl Edwards fan. We all remember his roid rage era lol

I think MJ is gonna be very very patient with him
 
Elliott and Suarez are hotheads too then. Suarez dumped Elliott in retaliation to end the race. And Elliott tore through the field on the cooldown lap to get back to him. So, 3 hotheads in the field, right?
Only three lol. That's what we saw anyway, but there were too many doubles into the tires. I think there had to be some bumper tags with all that going on.

True, just some do it more than others sadly.

Like if when Mark Martin was racing, and he did something like that, people would be more shocked by it than anything. Drivers who do it a lot get less of a pass on it is all.

Wallace is perpetually pissed

I think they have to here because of the circumstances mentioned.
 
At some point you have to wonder if Reddick will ever stop choking.
 
Carl Edwards won a lot of races.

Also he eventually mellowed out
To be fair, winning races doesn’t give you the right to be a hothead, and Bubba could also mellow out. He at least ain’t turned someone while multiple laps down and send them upside down into the wall


yet anyway.

Winning races makes you less deserving of character/mental health related criticism than one who doesn't win?
 
If Bubba gets parked, Hocevar needs to retroactive parking, and Chase Elliott needs at minimum a hefty fine for chasing down Suarez at full speed during the cool down lap.

Carl Edwards has been retired for a lot of years and a lot has changed since he flipped Brad like 15 years ago. Carl Edwards also wouldn't have survived if he didn't win a lot of races and if nascar didn't come out with the boys have at it policy of letting the drivers settle everything how they saw fit. But Bubba has used his car as a weapon multiple times

Winning races doesn’t give you that right, but it sure makes it easier for teams to tolerate the shenanigans.

What the fuk are you talking about? It makes you less likely to lose your job. Edwards did a lot of stupid chit but he was never going to lose his ride because he won a lot and the boys have at it policy.

It makes it easier for fans to tolerate those shenanigans as well, I think is his point. If they decide to move on from Bubba it's probably a good decision.

I’m just saying that he was still a hothead is all, and he mellowed at at an older age than Bubba is now I’m sure also. Hell the Brad thing was when he was the same age Bubba is now. Just saying he also has time. Like look I agree Bubba can be an idiot, so don’t think I’m defending him, I’m not. Lol just he’s got time to mellow.

My point is he doesn't have time. He isn't that good.

I'm with you. My deal is that I think fans just have a shorter leash with Bubba and this behavior because he doesn't win. On the contrary, other drivers have longer leashes because they win. I just don't think that's entirely fair.
