The Nascar Thread

Yeah I hear you - he didn’t gain anything from it. If he wouldn’t have throttled up to the line I don’t think it would have been a safety violation.
Yeah, I agree. My only thought there is he didn't really have a choice. I think if he doesn't throttle up, he ends up spinning out of the wall.

I do think he should have gotten out of the throttle a bit entering turn 3. He easily makes it without getting into the wall there. That was just a bad decision by Bell.

I do think he was pushing hard because he didn't want to make it look like he was just coasting to the finish with Bubba slowing up those last 2 laps.

In any case, both Toyota and Chevy giving team orders shouldn't be happening and Nascar needs to crack down on that severely because this is blatant race manipulation which isn't supposed to be allowed.
