That's BS call, Dale Earnhardt Sr. Is rolling over in his grave right now.

Not being a smartass, I’m genuinely curious, can you point me to a time where Senior did something this egregious? I remember the failed Labonte bump and run and several other incidents he had over the years. But I never remember him doing something like full sending with his foot on the accelerator into the back of someone knowing he wouldn’t make the turn, and then right rear hooking another car right after…

To add, I can’t find the video, but I’m pretty sure dale was parked five laps at Atlanta or Bristol for intentionally wrecking bodine.

Good call by NASCAR. I’m probably more of a racing purist than what is advisable as a NASCAR fan. You have to set a minimum quality standard of what’s acceptable.

Shame on NASCAR for promoting the incident all week on socials. The NFL doesn’t gloat over blatantly missed PI calls because it’s exciting. They realize it puts the sport in a poor light.

The right call would have been to strip him of the win. Taking the automatic playoff qualifier away but leaving him credited with the win is asinine. You either take the win which takes away the qualifier or you leave the win and qualifier in place.

NASCAR has been stepping on their own dick for 25 straight years, why try to make sense now?

As an F1 fan, I wouldn’t be against stripping the win. They are not afraid to lay the wood to someone.

I’m frankly surprised NASCAR went to this length. I was mentally prepared for a fine and driver points.
