I think it's an absurd attempt to "stir the pot" and create controversy where there's none. You could have easily removed Jeff Gordon and inserted Jr, Smoke, JJ, in short, any of the top drivers.
"I only meant to rattle his cage" is DE's response to spinning Terry Labonte out many years ago. OK, add another name to the "stir the pot" list.
IMO, he was in first and passed the yellow when he was spun out. This part might be challenged although we know Nascar will make the final call. Agree or disagree, that's how it is and it was yesterday and it will be tomorrow.
Spinning the leader out on the restart was where it began to go downhill.
Hi ST thanks for your comments. The Jeff Gordon name came up from the interviewer not me. :) I would venture to guess they would have done the same to anyone at that point.
It will be impossible at this point to figure out which part of the track was yellow [part or all] and who spun whom. Actually Happy spun Pruett which started the big mess that brought out whatever yellow it was so deemed to be after the fact. lol
I was hoping for some “race talk” here on the thread. Thank you!
