Such a crappy race, other than the 8 getting and deserving the win.

 

[FLRacingFan]

At least Reddick was a deserving winner.

Otherwise…pure clownery. Not sure how the sport and IMS are supposed to be proud of this event. Let’s just all ****** bulldoze each other with a sharp 90-degree corner at the end of a high speed straight.

call on Ross Chastain.

 

[AdoubleU24]

They gotta do something about turn 1 if they continue to race here.

 

[wi_racefan]

call on Ross Chastain.

As far I can tell he actually didn't do anything wrong.

I’m sure Marty is gonna ask Tyler about 2024

I like the second option more

Chastain racing like that knowing damn well...

Unbelievable man.

I'm actually surprised he didn't take out the 8.
Sure wasn't expecting Tyler to win multiple road course races.

 

[harkin]

So if Chastain had finished first it would have been a ‘tough call’ to penalize him?

Wtf happened to NASCAR?

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Chastain must of thought he was in Mario Kart 8. Shouldn't of taken so long to post him.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That looks egregious on the replay, what a clown. “But he’s a watermelon farmer!”

 

[Speedbowl14]

Lol Ross playing moron is hilarious

 

[jaqua19]

LOLOL Ross' deadpan interview....

"Noo Dave...no.."

LMAOOOO public enemy #1

 

[BobbyFord]

Please, no more fake road courses. This is crap, gimmick racing.

 

[aunty dive]

Chastain drives through downtown Indianapolis ... just staying out of the way.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bro actually thought he was going to take the joker lap to victory.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Man his post race interviews are one of the more awkward things in life

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

That was extremely frustrating. Having to race a car that shouldn't even be there.

Ask Dennis how it feels…

He’s a natural liar.

 

[wi_racefan]

But did Ross actually break any rules or just find a loophole? Seems like more of the second one to me

Seemed like he was actually mad he didn’t win. Like what did he expect?

 

[StandOnIt]

There was no stopping Reddick. They put Chastain a lap down

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Whew poor AJ. Hope he gets some fluids ASAP

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

call on Ross Chastain.

On what planet? He skipped two turns and gained like ten spots. Wtf man?

 

[gnomesayin]

NASCAR called Chastain's bold strategy Cotton move correctly.

I'm assuming now that they've needlessly interrupted the continuity of the Brickyard 400, and that once NBC sees that the chaos isn't doing a damn thing for their viewership by comparison, it'll be back to the oval by at latest 2024.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Harrison finished 3rd, he somehow didn't get any of the carnage in turns 1/2.

At least Reddick was a deserving winner.

Otherwise…pure clownery. Not sure how the sport and IMS are supposed to be proud of this event. Let’s just all ****** bulldoze each other with a sharp 90-degree corner at the end of a high speed straight.

Yet there are some folks who think Cup should race at Portland

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

In typical NASCAR fashion, they did not penalize Denny for the same move in first stage

30 year anniversary of the first race…back to the oval. Let’s go!

 

[BobbyFord]

Can’t wait for the Chicago street race.

 

[Magicmiler]

It's been 20 minutes since the race ended... Where is the Michigan pre race thread??

Have to keep the inconsistency consistent

Ross has turned into a total jerk. Never even attempted to make the corner.

Ask Dennis how it feels…

Agreed. Last year when Briscoe cut across turn one most people on here somehow opposed the penalty for him.

I think Ross was prolly always a jerk.

The rule doesn't require him to stop, he did brake before missing the corner and trying his bold move, and he did brake exiting that access road.

What's the penalty for? Gaining spots? Because NASCAR didn't like the outcome of it?

For starters, this is why we need to quit running fake road courses. At least with a city street course like Chicago, you can't just blatantly cut the course.
