JJ side drafted Menard, it didn’t work out and it ended up as the 48 taking out the 21. He didn’t drive through the guy like Dillon/Almirola last year.
Don't see why it should. It has been happening since the first race was run. I don't think there has ever been much discussion when a couple of backmarkers tangle, except "get them off the track", or they shouldn't be in the race in the first place or cries for the earth mother Nascar to do something about it sniff sniff.
I’m sorry you’re championing for Paul Menard. If you’re that upset over a guy who has one career win, and in the grand scheme of things is highly irrelevant on most race days then I really don’t know what to tell you. JJ is a pretty clean racer, more aggressive the last year or so sure because he hasn’t won. But that guy is one of the cleanest racers I’ve ever watched, of course he makes mistakes. They all do. Some more than others. Sucks for Paul it really does, but it’s an exhibition race that next week no one will even care about. The Clash isn’t a career defining race, the uproar over this entire JJ deal, I feel his detractors are just using to make a bigger issue of it than what it is.
Sorry as wrong as it is I am guilty as charged as yelling for back markers to get off the damn track when they seem to wreck each other with 5 to go and change an entire race.
People here can’t seem to grasp that. He isn’t winning anywhere else either. Shame for the fella though
You didn’t ask me though if I thought it was a bad move. It was. It was a bit desperate, he messed up and here we are. Stenhouse last July was on a kamikaze mission. He wrecked anything that moved. Dillon I had zero problem with it’s the last lap of the biggest race of the year. All bets are off.
Eh they should use Menard as an example of what not to do when there is only one line and you see the car behind you getting a run. Hell if it was Jr, he would have run Johnson down to the grass to stay in front.
How would you know?
You really think he meant to wreck him?
Why would I care what someone else thinks? You didnt watch it yet you are calling people boneheads who did. Do you let someone tell you what movie you watch, what food you should eat, what clothes you wear, what car you buy? You get the picture..........
When the sun is out this Sunday and we can run consecutive laps without a rain delay, we will see a different race. So yeah , the Clash never got in to a rhythm for me either and Jimmie Johnson absolutely was at fault on the deal with the 21
and Menard will be a mid packer where he belongs and not up trying to hunt with the big dogs.
I swear some of them will be calling for Johnson to use his blinker next time.
Perfect! At least you admit you let other people form your opinion lol
Oh Im sure Johnson probably wont see much of the 21 after Daytona, but he got his pound of flesh yesterday!and Menard will be a mid packer where he belongs and not up trying to hunt with the big dogs.
yep the dual race will probably settle that deal. Happens a lot at plate races, the teams make a really fast car..after all Menard's was a Penske, but the driver has more car than they can handle in a place they normally aren't in. One of the funniest was when Danica won the Daytona pole. At least she got out of the way. Menard was stuck to the wall and over his headOh Im sure Johnson probably wont see much of the 21 after Daytona, but he got his pound of flesh yesterday!
Hahaha whatever he was.....this is a dead horse the 48 hit the 21 simple as that the 21 did not move and if he did it was way less then the 48 did!
Im pretty sure the 21 hit the 18
eh I have watched this a few times watching Menards fender in relation to the wall, I believe he came down a bit and that exaggerated the whole thing. I think the track was a mess also, I think moist would be the word about the track at least. It looks like Menard froze at the wheel after contact was made also, he didn't try to steer away.
Are you still drinking heavily?
