Issues had been going properly within the Richmond Cup Collection race, till that Stage 2 warning. At the very least, that’s what Dale Earnhardt Jr. is saying. The NASCAR Corridor of Famer loved the race Sunday however needs the warning hadn’t come out when Kyle Busch touched the wall.
From NASCAR’s perspective, they thought there was one thing flawed with Busch’s automotive. Probably a blown left entrance or a problem together with his brakes. Actually, he was combating an ill-handling automotive and occurred to rise up into the wall for a second.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. thinks folks have a worse view of the race due to that warning. It threw off the differing tire methods and principally homogenized the sphere.
“I really feel like we forgot how a lot enjoyable we had these first 100 laps. … I imply, it was, dude, we had been actually arrange for a reasonably attention-grabbing race by way of technique, till the freaking yellow come out for Kyle Busch,” he stated on the Dale Jr. Obtain. “That f***ed every little thing up. That was so irritating.”
The warning was questionable. Busch continued to kind of run the place he had a lot of the evening. He was capable of end P20. So, nothing was actually flawed together with his automotive.
“I simply don’t perceive,” Earnhardt continued. “I don’t assume you might make me perceive why the yellow needed to be thrown proper there. … When he hit the wall, I believed, ‘Man he’s in all probability bent the toe hyperlink.’ After which I noticed he’s operating 18th, nineteenth, and that made me much more [mad] that they threw that yellow.
“I imply, as a result of his automotive’s not even damage. He drove the factor proper again into the highest 20. Look, there’s going to be yellows that don’t essentially must be yellows, that’s completely one in every of them. I do know they’re going to occur, it’s simply irritating man.”
Irritating is a good way to explain this race. It has produced per week of “controversy” and dialogue. It has been days for the reason that race, and persons are nonetheless speaking concerning the end. Denny Hamlin received the race. The top was thrilling. Moist climate tires gave us nice racing.
So, what do you concentrate on the warning? Had it not occurred, we probably don’t get that end on the finish. Was is the Busch warning that finally ruined this race?
