wow...Rusty Wallace and RAY EVERNHAM both said, "He spun the car out on purpose."
Congrats to Kurt and #78 team - Great job making the Chase!

Menard has been around long enough to know how a restart works

Ray and Jr. have their own bias in this case. I don't argue with the facts at hand, but those guys personal opinions don't really weigh heavy with me in this case.

Funny thing....I've never really been a fan of either of the Busch Brothers, but you got to hand it to Kurt Busch this year.

The good news is that ~30 drivers have little to race for over the next ten races, and CB has to stick a number on the side of his car for all ten of those races. We'll see how battlefield justice works from here on out...

If they did do it on purpose, have to wonder why the would not try to make the radio chatter less suspicious. Assuming they decided that they should crash should Truex need it, why not just let a simple comment be what's needed instead of all that silly stuff.

The leader of the race controls the restarts. I did not see the replay so I am not sure if the #99 clearly jumped. Then again, Edwards had new tires - so he could have won anyway.

That's not the point though. And he clearly wouldn't have won if he had received a penalty. He was nearly an entire car length ahead as they crossed the line. There was a little bumping after they hit the gas but it looked like it was extremely minor. From the replay it looked like Menard went when he should have. IDK what NASCAR's official comment was but based on the replay I don't see how any comment would be an acceptable one.

The bottom line is NASCAR's rules are very subjective and arbitrary, and they seem to base a lot of rules-related decisions on things that seem to affect profit. No news there!

Carl beat him to the line for sure, but the more I look at it the more I give some credence to what NASCAR was using as an explanation. |
