I desperately want Kyle Petty in the TNT booth like the old days to criticize the drivers more

I’m going with Sanchez on this one. Friesen didn’t really have a right to be as upset as he was as he was the one who caused the incident. Just because you’re a veteran doesn’t give you the right to just bully all the youngsters.

I agree. I’m a Friesen fan but he screwed up there. At the same time though Sanchez has the option to lift and chose not to which in turn ruined his day as well. So the smirk is cute and all but I doubt his team is very happy with him as their chances of a good finish were ruined too when it could have been avoided. I understand holding your ground but you gotta live to see another lap too.

Why does everyone always rush to break up these fights before they even start?

You wouldn’t want someone to have blood on their face or what happened to Sanchez at Talladega last year

To protect the punks like Sanchez so they don’t get hurt.

Nick should’ve just let him in and then punt him in the next corner for blocking like all the smarter veterans do and saved his truck from harm.

Don’t take yourself out on the track to prove a point that you’re going to hold your ground and not let a guy squeeze you because then you just end up as wrecked as the other guy was and you both lose at the end of the day. Both have a right to be angry, both are in the wrong, and both handled it poorly. That’s just how racing goes.

Just a racing incident from my perspective Friesen should be mad at himself bc Sanchez wasn’t going to lift with laps ticking down

@vanceallentopekaks March 18, 2024 at 5:47 pm

Just because you’re older doesn’t automatically mean you’re right. Stewart should have apologized to Sanchez, not confronted him.

@gamerboy0499 March 18, 2024 at 5:56 pm

Correct! As an experienced driver you have a responsibility to show the younger drivers a lesson of respect. Well respect should never be through violence! Friesen would be the bigger man if he admitted he was in the wrong without going in all hot headed and showing exactly what you should not do in that situation. Also, what I should mention is that young drivers should not be disrespectful either to their elders because everyone has a responsibility but how can you expect young drivers to be respectful if even the most experienced drivers on the grid acts in that way.

Friesens a big fish in the northeast dirt modified scene, but just another name on the lineup in NASCAR! This one was his to own!

I agree, Sanchez probably should have lifted and Stewart should have known he was there. I actually was surprised that this almost was a fight because I thought it was kind of a racing deal
