Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

Lmao he gassed it up while on the wall. Stop the BSing

It's a bit different. He passed bubba prior to getting into the wall and was in even without it.

I think it's different

 

[wi_racefan]

I don't like that end at all. 23 just about stopped out there and the 20 rides the wall to the end.

We will see.

Just because they don’t make the call, doesn’t mean it’s the right one. He clearly gassed it up and rode the wall.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Lol did you see what the 23 just did to help the 20? Ridiculous

Same as the 1 and 3 blocking for the 24

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Bubba Wallace completely tanked for the 20 to get in

Same as what the 1 and 3 were doing for Bryon

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Can’t complain about the effort. All the errors came on Chase and Trey’s shoulders. All I could ask. Got beaten straight up, tip your cap and move on.

 

[TheJester]

Toyota was just playing the same game Chevy played all race.

Big difference when those cars were BEHIND Byron. Bubba was way AHEAD of bell

 

[Brentford]

So annoying, but so funny! This is exactly what the playoff system allows to happen.

 

[Mike Crayne]

I want to see the 23s tires.

 

[Naitch]

The final result will be Jeff Gordon getting added as the 5th car.

After the pass, not for the pass.

Does the rule state you can’t pass or you can’t ride the wall?

 

[Spotter22]

Nothing wrong with what Bell did

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

HMS

5 Car - dominates the points, wins, playoff points
24 Car - 2nd most wins, top 3 playoff seedings
9 Car - didn't have playoff points but top 3 in points all year


HMS shut out and it's beautiful lololol

For ***** sake, let's get back to the 10 race chase. Scrap elimination.

10 weeks of points racing

 

[AdoubleU24]

Bubba should've started turning slower laps way sooner. That looked really bad

 

[BobbyFord]

This is prezakly why playoffs suck. It’s fake, manufactured drama.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Toyota was just playing the same game Chevy played all race.

Bubba clearly stood on his breaks to let Bell by. Even a blind bat could see it.

That's what I told my buddy. We proved today we can still do this s^$*. We came back from a monster mistake and was 15 laps away from going to Phoenix with a shot

 

[HoneyBadger]

If those two Chevys aren’t blocking Keselowski to protect Byron, bubba doesn’t do what he did.

You’re a Byron fan so I don’t expect you to criticize those actions.

 

[RollingCode]

So which manufacturer race manipulated harder?

 

[Speedbowl14]

23 tanking and part wall ride are worse than Team "Hoover Dam" Chevy, imo

 

[TheJester]

A great season ruined by the playoffs once again and the cherry on top will be when the #22 lifts the trophy at Phoenix

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ha ha ha sure Bubba, you had a tire going down. Does it itch too?

 

[BobbyFord]

Well there it is. Bubba had a tire going down.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Omfg spingate 2.0. A tire going down. Bubba better have a tire down on put road

 

[Naitch]

This is prezakly why playoffs suck. It’s fake, manufactured drama.

Remember when Jimmy Smith entered extra trucks to stop Brendan Gaughan from winning a Truck Championship?

Team manipulation happens in every format.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Just cut the drama nascar and add Jeff Gordon into the championship 4

 

[BobbyFord]

Omfg spingate 2.0. A tire going down. Bubba better have a tire down on put road

Ice pick

 

[2 Sweet]

I don't blame the 1 or the 3 for staying behind the 24, and I don't blame the 23 for faking a tire going down or a broken part or whatever the excuse is. I blame NASCAR for this stupid format. They got what they were asking for

 

[AdoubleU24]

Move the championship here. Stop playing around.

 

[Brentford]

I was so focused on Byron holding those two off, I didn't even think about it being two Chevy's behind him. I honestly don't know what to think or who to give the final spot to.

 

[Blaze]

I say just put Chase in the Final 4.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I was so focused on Byron holding those two off, I didn't even think about it being two Chevy's behind him. I honestly don't know what to think or who to give the final spot to.

Oh he wasn't holding them off. Don't kid yourself lol

 

[HoneyBadger]

This should all offset. Let it stand.

There was BLATANT manipulation from the Chevy and HMS camp all race.

 

[jaqua19]

Does the rule state you can’t pass or you can’t ride the wall?

I'm not really sure man. Is that a sarcastic question because of the rule or a legit question?

Cause I don't know the answer. But I do know that Bell had the position before riding the wall.

What's the consequence? It only has to be disqualification. Disqualification for a move that didn't advance the spot?

It's not like they can decide to give the spot up. He had the spot prior to that. The issue was Bubba giving up the spot.

But at the same time, the 24 had Chevies holding up the field behind him and the move wouldn't be necessary if Chevy wasn't playing games too.

So, who the hell knows. What we know is that this is a total farce...

This wasn't about the 20/24.

Race manipulation

 

[SeventyGTX]

So annoying, but so funny! This is exactly what the playoff system allows to happen.

Exactly, unnecessary drama that would never have happened in the old system. But now it's more often than not.

 

[BobbyFord]

This “sport” is basically WWE on wheels. Shame on the France family for creating this BS.

 

[Naitch]

A couple of years ago, I said that banning the Hail Melon would inevitably result in NASCAR having to make a judgment call that pisses people off…

And here we are.

 

[jaqua19]

Bubba should've started turning slower laps way sooner. That looked really bad

But then the Chevies blocked for Byron.

It looked bad for everyone.

This needs to be the race that changes this ****.

It wasn't about the 24/20. It was about manufactures manipulating the race
