Cup RACE thread --- Martinsville, Rd. 2

[JBone88]

Truex is acting like he's never raced against Logano or at a short track before. He's legitimately shocked Logano would give him the bumper in the final corner for the chance to win a title.

He’s likely mad that he raced side by side for 10 laps without laying a fender on Joey. Then gets moved in the last corner. They’re all human beings. I thought fans wanted to see emotions out of these drivers?

 

[Mispeedway15]

Damn iRacing type move for the win. Won’t be shocked if Truex takes him out sometime here

 

[Blaze]

That's the way I saw it. They were side by side after the bump and then Truex lost it.

Exactly. Sometimes you also got to know who you’re racing against also. I’m not shocked Joey used the bumper, which is why Truex should have done it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

How is Chase so far out?? He didn’t finish that bad..

Didn't start with as many playoff points.

 

[Spotter22]

Yeah, you’ve never been on the other side of that.

l will say this, 78 never touched him, 22 ran out of talent. Hopefully he will get parked. You know what that means.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Truex isnt acting like a champion. Control yourself man lol

He's pissed and should be. Truex raced him clean for 25 laps and Logano drove through him.

It was great racing but Logano did him dirty.

Logano is a marked man. Miami could be an encore of Toledo in 2008.

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

Good hard racing but Logano did him dirty.

No sir he did not

 

[Blaze]

This is a tough round, I can’t believe he’s that far back. He’s gotta win next week, I think Harv will win Phoenix.

Yeah hopefully he can grab that win, cause 31 points seems like A LOT for such a good finish.

 

[Kiante]

I love Homestead, but I'm all for moving Martinsville for the last race purely for the salt mine forthcoming after the race.

 

[DUN24]

No stage points and Logano won. Hes basically up against the 78, 18, and 4 regarding the cut line. The 22 win was a swing of 10-15 points for Chase. I was really rooting against the 22 there.

There were a few times MTJ did lay on Joey , nothing hard, but it was not 100% clean racing.

Not taking sides here, both were racing hard for the win, as it should be.

Lol bumping isn’t damn dirty my dude.

I don't mind emotion, or Truex, but he should know the deal there.

Are You serious? LMAO

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Didn't start with as many playoff points.

Got only 4 stage points. Three Chasers finished ahead of him, with two more on his heels.

 

[tclarson]

MTJ is the biggest whinner in NASCAR. He expects everyone to just lay over for him.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Lol bumping isn’t damn dirty my dude.

He just moved him out of the way! Up out of the groove. I didn’t find it super dirty myself. Had to. This is what the playoff system calls for.

 

[gnomesayin]

I'm about as anti-dirty driving as anyone. That wasn't dirty. I get why Truex is upset also. Understand both sides, there is only one winner, that is the essence of great racing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Chase got close at Phoenix last year, I could see him winning there.

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

Thats what this sport needs!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

MTJ is the biggest winner in NASCAR. He expects everyone to just lay over for him.

He is a big winner. 2017 champ actually.

 

[KTMLew01]

I wouldn’t say that, but for some reason he didn’t want to this time. He probably should’ve did it honestly.

Truex screwed up when he got back in the throttle hard coming off the corner. Should have just hooked Logano in the LR and spun him into the wall. Need the attitude that if I ain't winning, you ain't either. Logano just cost himself any chance at a championship. He has set the die for how to race him. SOMEBODY will crash him. Deservedly so.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Lol bumping isn’t damn dirty my dude.

That wasn't a bump and run. Logano slammed him. Never lifted, never attempted to make the exit.

 

[JBone88]

I didn’t say it was dirty. Joey did what he had to do. Used the old chrome horn. It was textbook short track racing.

As usual, I’m just butting heads with the army of Truex fans on here.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’ll tell you all what....I’d trade 1 Race at Kansas and the New Hampshire race for two more short track races.

 

[SeventyGTX]

He just bumped him lol that’s not dirty. If he spun him out then maybe say that’s dirty.

No doubt. What Hamlin did to Elliot last year was dirty.

 

[Blaze]

That wasn't a bump and run. Logano slammed him. Never lifted, never attempted to make the exit.

Whatever you say my dude, don’t wanna be told to calm down so I’ll just stop this here.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

We want to see drivers do whatever it takes to win!

No not that driver.

We see moves like that in the final turn in every short track series in the country. Anyone bitching about this and also complaining about the lack of excitement at Kansas has lost their marbles.

 

[gnomesayin]

No, I pretty much agree with what I've seen you post.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That wasn't a bump and run. Logano slammed him. Never lifted, never attempted to make the exit.

Hamlin/Elliott was way more egregious.

 

[DUN24]

It wasnt Busch vs Larson at Chicago. Logano had the lead on the inside on exit, 78 stayed in the gas and made it look super dramatic.


Edit: just watched again, looks like Logano had broken loose out of four and slid up, sending them both sideways.


Still not the worst move in the world. Quite the opposite

 

[Blaze]

No doubt. What Hamlin did to Elliot last year was dirty.

Yes this, spinning a guy out like that would be dirty.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

l will say this, 78 never touched him, 22 ran out of talent. Hopefully he will get parked. You know what that means.

Parked? For a last-corner bump and run? I hope this series NEVER comes to that!

 

[tclarson]

Edited. Whinner. Biggest winner would be the goat. KB

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Larson ran over Kyle Busch at Chicago and got it back. Truex never used Logano up.

Logano used him up in turn 3, knew Truex would have the run off so used him up again.

If truex is not in top 4 in Miami, kes will take him out. Lol

 

[SeventyGTX]

Logano used him up in turn 3, knew Truex would have the run off so used him up again.

Logano raced him hard and clean, until the last lap, the money lap.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Then Truex should have never let the #22 inside him.

 

[Thegeneral23]

Truex has been the biggest crybaby in NASCAR for the last couple years now. I'm glad the 22 won.

I knew I couldn’t be the only one to see this sh*t!!! All he do is cry!

I'm all for good racing. Still say it was dirty though.

Hamlin/Elliott was way more egregious.

So Logano's move was clean because what Hamlin did to Elliott was worse?
