Martinsville and Bristol work well with the whole stage concept because it's short track heats really.

I still want to know why Brad took the top.

Also, Denny flat dumped Chase but :lol: if you don't think this system isn't at least partially to blame because this is exactly what it calls for.

I was trying to think of a race I've attended where I reacted in such a way as awesome you did on Twitter and the one (only one) which comes to mind was this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXwxr0cLlyo

We bought some janky batteries which were eaten alive by my scanner, so I literally didn't know what happened on the backstretch and was relying on FM radio and its seven-second delay. I took a video camera to the track back in those days to get my own perspective of it because YouTube wasn't a thing then and I think everything from Turn 3 to the line was the camera shaking from me cracking up because at that time I didn't like Junyer and him getting stuffed in the fence was just the best drat thing.

Then the old-school scoring pylon updated to indicate the winner and you hear me lose my loving mind in the background in delight. I thought Leffler won (which I'd have been OK with), but then you get comedy winner Mike Wallace and it was just so perfect in the most stupid way possible.

e- Also, the drunken fans in front of us screaming "TAKE HIS NASCAR LICENSE!"

"hero" driver wrecks "villain" driver = good hard racing, etc
"villain" driver wrecks "hero" driver = what we have today

It's kinda reminiscent to when Kyle wrecked Junior at Richmond 10 years ago. Everybody lost their minds.

I don't understand why NASCAR doesn't have any kind of penalty system to penalize drivers who pull a Hamlin and intentionally punts the leader.

Because they'd have to figure out a way not to use it when a popular driver does it.

They had some system a couple years ago which they introduced penalties for even disparaging NASCAR or other drivers, but I'm guessing that either a) isn't used anymore or b) doesn't apply here because it turned into a water cooler race.

It was basically the same thing as 11.3.8 or whatever the rule was in IndyCar, which itself was a Brian France creation.

Alan Gustafson says he's fine if Elliott dumps Hamlin back at Texas.

Just wait until Phoenix, really. I mean, Alan should be more familiar with that concept than anybody.
