If Joey can pass the leader so can everyone else.. and if they can all figure it out were in for a hell of a race next time around.

Passing the leader in a race is really nothing that makes racing history, it has been happening for many years. NASCAR won't allow anybody to figure anything out, they will tinker away. The current package will never see that track again

Well there is a reason the leader is the leader....

Care to wager that the current package never sees that track again ? Don't dumb yourself down with SOI tactics

It is what it is but it really does look like Joey jumped that restart. Using the patch on the track as a reference it looked pretty clear from the earlier restart I checked.

Don’t say anything about that it might start a war.

Don't see how unless you use Truex whiny glasses

Or a discussion

Hard to tell from that view.. I never noticed but I wasnt looking at the restart box ..I was watching Kyle.

It wasnt called.. therefore it wasnt a violation

A damn war?

22 cleared inspection

 

[StandOnIt]

Logano did have the restart of the year.

 

[Spotter22]

Not sure if he did or didnt but I didnt see the restart box in that frame

 

[StandOnIt]

Logano smoked em is what happened. DW thought he took off in first gear.

 

[StandOnIt]

These are some Kyle Busch esk records right here now.

Frickin baby nursery -- Truex starts crying, then others join in...

 

[harkin]

It even looked like Joey spun em on the re-start, pretty squirrelly.

 

[Revman]

Best car won. Good no call. The last thing this sport needs is a F1 style result.

good example of fake news by young Matt, but his is a staunch ally of the haters



Kyle was neutral
"The 22 may or may not have jumped the restart there a little bit and got out and got clear," Kyle Busch said. "It's pretty monotone after that."

Sounds like Kurt thought it a good move, no accusation there.

Kurt Busch said he would have done the same thing.
"Logano knew he had to go early because that was his best chance to get ahead of (Truex), and that changed the complexion of the race," he said. "It's exactly what I would have done in his position."

and the usual cry baby, the only one who did accuse Logano of an illegal start. Thanks for the B.S. Matt, your fellow haters will continue to drink the cool aid

"He clearly went before the box," Truex said. "That’s the way it goes. They didn’t call it. And it didn’t matter because he had the fastest car anyway. It’s a moot point."

I couldnt care less if my favorire driver drove any make. Im the opposite, driver fan, damn the car

Same here. I like GM Products, and did as a kid as well, but my favorite driver back then drove a Ford. If I like you I like you, I don't care what you're driving.

Whew, that's too close to call

 

[Ventisca]

Whew, that's too close to call

Would like to see an in-car camera of Joey's shifting.

Powering away from MTJ was an awesome sight!

 

[StandOnIt]

DW called it, he started in 1st gear.

Another view from the fan side of track.

 

[Ventisca]

MTJ asleep at the wheel...

Damn right! Truex wants Nascar to make the F1 guys look like the real racers. Maybe Elliott Sadler would be available to judge who is racing someone too hard and hand out some penalties..

[JJ_14]

He absolutely did NOT jump that restart. I can't beleve this is an ongoing conversation. Joey earned that one fair & square, perfect execution.

I guess they need something to talk about this off weekend.

 

[Truex_rox]

I didn't see anything wrong with it.
