Wreckfest Glen Bonehead

Allmendinger and his team for running out of fuel. I knew small team syndrome would come back and bite them in the butt.
 
I'd give it to Marcos for not pitting when they should have and putting themselves in that position which ended up haunting them to the garage and into next week.
 
Dinger's team..oh yeah, and a shout out to Ambrose's crew chief for screwing him on the caution, leaving him out too long, should have pitted when his closest competition 18 pitted.
 
NOBODY should be saying Danica this week. (Just getting that out of the way)

But I'm going with ESPN.
 
Anybody who is going to (or was going to) say Papis in this thread.
 
I'd say ESPN for their camera work. They never did show us the second part of the first wreck...if they did I think we would have seen that it was caused by cars stacking up when Danica nearly stopped on the track.

...so ESPN and Danica :XXROFL:
 
You can say a NNS driver. A NNS driver is what started this topic years ago.

My choice is Gil Martin for getting Harvick out of sequence early on and never getting back in sync.
 
Jeff Gordon for being way too aggressive way too early and forgetting how wide the track was at a place he's dominated and been to many many times.

I thought Ambrose slowed to tell you the truth but the popular opinion seems to be that he intentionally wrecked half of HMS so we'll go with that ;)

Its not popular opinion, its what actually happened.

Just adding to the collection of Hendrick cars he's collected over the years.

Eh he said in his twitter that the car was far too loose so that may be why he got all out of shape and collected himself.

I'm still puzzled as to how you go from being one of the best at the track to barely top 30ing. I understand drop off in perfomance but Gordon done felt off the map.

To me, the really solid bonehead has to go to Gonzalez, Jr. ---- trying to drive back to the pits with oil going everywhere. Thank goodness he was stopped before going too far.

The rest of the stuff during the race --- just hard racing.

That was truly Bonehead material.

Eh, I'd imagine if he knew he was losing oil, he wouldn't have drove away.
 
Kenseth clearly pused Marcos up the hill and never let off. He seemed to be trying to knock him onto the grass and messed up. Ambros' car wasn't broken at that time, it broke before the next restart. It may have gotten broken by Kenseth lifting the back end.
 
I wasn't aware that a Wallace was in this race. lol
 
I go with Gonzalez, Jr.

Once he got started and then slid so quick that should have been his cue that there was oil. Sure there was still going to be a clean up but adding another 100meters of oil on track cleanup just interupted racing.

The bonehead is always for the weekend, Mike Wallace was in the nationwide race and hit kybu on lap one.

Maybe the award should go to Wallace's spotter who obviously didn't say anything about a spin in front of him. Can you imagine the look on Mike's face when he pulls out to pass and there sits Kyle? Probably had to change his undies.

I'm actually laughing out loud, reminds me of the look on Ricky Bobby's face. And your right about the spotter.

Care explaining why?

Disclosure: I am a Max Papis fan from back in the day and he can be an aggressive driver.

That said, I watched the replay a few times after the race and I think Ambrose came over on him. Can't blame Papis for not letting up in that situation. There was some contact between them, but Ambrose' comments from the last round of pit stops seemed to indicate that something was broke with the car. I was cheering for Marcos to do the 3-peat too, but don't think Mad Max was to blame for that one. Harvick was behind them, and he wouldn't of let up for Ambrose either.

Do they have oil pressure gauges in a Gen6 car? I'm not being an ass, I don't know.

One time, I was driving my old man's 66 Chevelle Super Stocker with 396 big block on the street. Hit something in the road and tore the plug out of the oil pan. I saw the oil pressure gauge was dropping like a fly and knew what was up.
 
Meant to put down ESPN, forgot about them.

Gonzalez Jr's move was pretty boneheaded but to be fair he didnt know. I still would rank it third place in bonehead standings this week though.

And Kenseth taking out Hendrick was a racing deal.
