Yeah, that was wild that the 3 and the 1 were clearly acting as a Chevy escort to the 24 - and the announcers never said a thing about it, it was obvious.
But I'm not sure that what the Chevys did is a clear penalty, but riding the wall is. Plus, the 23 just basically stopped.
Fwiw there was absolutely clear communication between Dillon and his crew. He went so far as to ask if the 1 car understood the deal. Nascar is going to have to address that this week.
And, I can't stand that the manufacturers are pushing race manipulation. Both Toyota and Chevy are guilty of it.
Fwiw, Bubba told his crew chief he felt like a tire was going down with 3 laps to go and the response was to nurse it home. Not sure I buy that, lol. Of course I'm sure Nascar will check his tires.
I didn't like Nascar changing their stance to no wall riding after Chastain did it and I didn't like it here. Bell didn't actually gain anything from it because he was already ahead of Bubba. Bell could have easily made it without the wall ride and Nascar has to directly address the race manipulation. This let them off the hook, maybe.
