RACE thread --- Open and All-Star

Just got to finally watch.

Joey upset that Bell ran him into the wall? After he ran Bell into the wall earlier? That's pretty laughable.

Good race.
 
I think I enjoy life just fine. It’s fair game to also point out an idiot and enjoy that as well
 
Fair. But like, it ain't hurt no one or anything. 😅 I guess I just don't get bothered by stuff like this because it's not harmful, and it's funny.
I never said I was bothered by it. I was saying Mikey was an idiot and I found it humorous he acted the idiot as well.
 
Well I guess that's true.

I just always see people seem to hate whenever people aren't being serious and thought this was one of those moments.
It’s just Mikey and Fox fatigue, the grid walk can be so good but then he’s awkward like when he told Chase his pants are lose and Chase just left him hanging, funny but it’s like comeon dude these fellas are getting to race. I personally think he’s good on the Truck broadcasts, just last night he had the cartoon character turned up a bit more than normal. He was wearing a bad ass jacket though, that had all kinds of drip.

Trust me, I understand, it sometimes can be a little bit much. I get that. I also miss a lot of that as I normally either A. Tune in just as it's about green flag time or B. Watch late because I watch the races with my dad, so we normally watch the command 😂 then fast forward to the race. So i don't see nearly as much Mikey as others do, so could be why I enjoy him.

Joey is just looking for an excuse to be honest. The yellow gimmick was announced before the race. Everyone played by the same rules.

I sometimes wish I could talk to these drivers when they say crap like this. To him, that's a gimmick(which yes it is, I agree). I would suggest to him that the playoffs are also a gimmick, which him winning three Championships from, he would disagree with it, and say "everyone's playing by the same rules." CORRECT! Just like everyone in the All Star Race, was playing by the same rules. I also would ask him the difference between him running Bell up into the wall, and Bell doing the same thing. None of the announcers ever want to ask the drivers these questions.

Joey's a very competitive guy, so I understand the frustration. That doesn't mean he's right. His comments were at the heat of the moment. Bell won fair and square.
 
I blame Fox more for Micheal Waltrip than MW himself. They know who he is, what he does, and they continue to sign the checks.
 
What Joey also misses is that Bell was running him down before the caution, heck there's a chance Bell didn't want it either...that caution didn't change any outcome imo.

I think the obvious is that Logano didn't say in his rant was the fact that Paul Wolfe made a call that lost Joey his chance to win the race. Wolfe gambled that more cars would stay out along with Blaney and Logano keeping Logano out front. Blaney blows the restart and is no help, Bell gets a hell of a restart and is right on Logano with his 4 fresh tires. At that time looking in the mirror that call from Wolfe had to be part if not all of Logano's frustration. Wolfe gave Logano a knife in a gunfight.

Mikey should just be allowed to head off have fun and run his brewery. He seems like a nice enough guy.

This post sums up my opinion on last night.

Wolfes a tremendous CC. Seemingly made the wrong call last night…it happens.
 
Bell had a fast car, his pit kept him up front, but I don't think he was as fast as Logano was. I mean Bell had to door him a number of times to pass and Logano was only on 2. Logano on 4 and it would be all over. I think Wolf was scared of taking the chance that his pit crew would lose the lead. It made for a good finish though.
