Bonehead of the week: Homestead

[MRM]

No real obvious candidates from what I saw (which was only the Sunday races). Ryan Newman running into the back of Logano might be considered. But for me, it was Harrison Burton in Sunday's Xfinity race. He has to change tires late in the race and decides since he's faster than everyone else, he races the leaders while they were trying to win the race. He really screwed up Briscoe trying to get around Gragson. The late caution was the only thing to help Briscoe.

Can we say Joey for racing the leaders to keep from going two laps down? I know there’s the whole Chase thing but he wasn’t getting out of Denny’s way either.

Really seemed to me like he was trying to hold them up for Blaney.

Hmm, hadn’t thought of that. Who knows - seemed like with a busted up left front he was pretty much in the way. But I guess that’s his prerogative.

I'm not particularly a fan of Logano, and I've been pissed off at him all year because he has wrecked 'my driver' (B Kez) three times this year... BUT he doesn't owe Hamlin any courtesy ever. When Logano got booted by Gibbs, Hamlin went on a rampage, wrecked him several times, mocked him in the media, etc. It was unprovoked by anything visible to the public, and it was ugly. Personally, I wouldn't blame Logano if he never cut Hamlin any slack, ever.

Having said all that, I'd like to know what caused Logano to block Newman the way he did tonight. Unless that was payback for something, that was out of line.

I agree. He can screw with Hamlin all he wants and I have no issue with it. And he’s had a run in with Newman before about his hard racing so probably just giving him some of his own medicine.

Bonehead to whoever didn’t seal up the spacers for the tungsten weights on Briscos car Sat. He thought he had the car to win if he didn’t go 6 laps down instantly. How he got to 7th is pretty crazy.
