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 did Elliott do when he got back to Suarez? I think that matters quite a bit in the point you're trying to make. By the time I caught it on the on board cam he was already back in front of him and appeared to have just brake checked him. Did he hit him?

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.

I've seen Elliott go full psychotic more than once.

Carl Edwards had a 9 win season by the time he was Bubba's age and Carl got a late start in nascar. Bubba isn't exactly hitting victory lane very often. You're on borrowed time in nascar if you can't win and act like a psycho.

I kid you not, he was coming at him pretty quickly, and the feed froze when he was a car length away lol I had to switch cameras and return back to him, and at the point I didn't see the 99. He very well could have went in front of him and break checked. But he drove through the field during the cooldown lap a bit recklessly for what seemed like 15 seconds. That isn't cool, but it really isn't a big big deal imo, even if he did bump him.

I'm clear, I don't really think any of these retaliations are suspension worthy.

Ugh. That season still haunts me.

You're on borrowed time in NASCAR if you can't win and act like a psych, unless your boss is bigger than the sport.

Which MJ is.
 
Bubba gets plenty of leash for a guy with 2 career wins. More than most guys would.

And yes. On track success makes owners overlook a lot. Been that way for 75 years.

Carl Edwards isn’t in the same zip code as Bubba Wallace.

MJ is the biggest competitor in the history of sports. He doesn't like losing. In anything. At all.

It’s like other sports, if you’re a headcase but produce, you’ll be tolerated. Once that production stops, the leash gets tighter and quick. Dennis Rodman was an example of that. Bubba is mad every week…it’s getting old.

Chase had some crazy streak of top 20s snapped.

Very tame conversation there.

WHAT A CRAZY HOTHEAD!! Suarez doesn't look like a guy that got harmed under cool down either.

Meanwhile Bubba could've shattered Bowman's arm if it had been propped up on the door.

Let's drag Chase into this somehow tho, because RF gonna RF.

You've entirely missed my point. Nothing Elliott did was hotheaded or egregious, same with Daniel.

They had a tame conversation. Something I’m not sure Bubba is capable of at this current juncture,if he was in a post race convo like that

Well, I was just mentioning that Chase has been on a tear. Just good to see him back to form post injury, been very consistent all year.

Now, for the Bubba accident. I see a fine due to the window net being down. That's it.

I see a driver who wants to prove he can win anywhere, Bubba was pretty good all day and recovered to 13th. Without the bonsai move earlier, he could have been in the conversation to win today. I see the fustration as valid.

I don’t see anyone more deserving. He’s a great driver that doesn’t seem to make many dumb mistakes.

I really wish Love had a slot because I think he would have been great to move up as well. Just no space at the time, but RCR is a solid spot to be in.

Heim you're right, he's always been pretty consistent in whatever he drives. We shall see, I think he will take time to adjust. I think he will get it, if given the opportunity.

At some point you have to wonder if Reddick will ever stop choking.

I'll stop short of "choking"....but he certainly is not Larson/Bell/Hamlin/Byron tier.....yet.

What a sh*tshow.

And NASCAR wonders why no one takes them seriously anymore.

Like back when Bobby Allison cheated up Marty Robbins carb so he could pass Richard Petty and then pull out of the race?
