Props to him for having a very positive attitude towards it, classy.

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

Sadly he's too nice to say anything bad. I wouldn't have minded some anger. Feuds are good for the sport.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Has anyone heard from Tony yet?

 

[Dwayne]

Big time props, he should be pissed

If Austin did that to Tony he would be sliding through the grass a lot better than the pathetic celebration slide

Aric admits to throwing a block. Still AD fault.

 

[JBone88]

Aric knows how good his cars are this year. He’ll have other opportunities to win. He’d likely be more upset if he was still driving a backmarker IMO.

Aric blocked naturally but AD nailed him in the left, middle, then right rear and kept his foot in it on the RR.

A bump draft into the center of the bumper can be seen as a racing incident. A flagrant hook from the RR is cowardly.

Again, Aric doesn't seem to upset about it. He probably would've did the same. If he isn't upset no reason for anyone else to be.

If I was AD I'd watch out for all the Stewart/Haas drivers

With a nick like ChexOrWrex, I'm surprised. Big E wouldn't have lifted on the last lap of Daytona either.

Theres a difference between wrecking to win & racing to win and ending up wrecking.

 

[StandOnIt]

"and somehow I got hooked". Don't like it said that way myself. Most fans of the sport know better.

If it wasn't a restrictor plate race I would agree with you. If the #3 lifts he loses.

 

[StandOnIt]

It's the same result when you lay up on a left rear quarter panel on a car that is loose at Daytona (Stenhouse), your going to wreck em on purpose. Stenhouse might have been to stupid to know that, but Dillion knew what he was doing. He went left then right and never lifted, he didn't try to push and pass.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

He doesnt need to give up the race, but the hook was unnecessary.

Lets not act like the winning move has never been made coming out of 4 either.

I don't usually agree with ChexOrWrex much but when I do:

Nice to see the guy is thinking instead of whining. Dillon did what any other driver on the track would have done. Nobody lifts 1/2 lap from the finish line. Not if he wants to keep his ride.
