They would’ve have done and done the same thing. I’m a fan of 11 and 22 they our on my dream four car team but they can’t complain too much. However people need to understand the yellow came out after the 22 contact freezing the field. 11 was scored second.

@03kenseth August 12, 2024 at 3:00 am

Neither would do that. And neither are my favourite driver . And that wasn’t a bump and run … that was an intentional lack of talent dump because he knew he wasn’t gonna win vs the two time champ Logano aftrer he took the lead.

Reply
@say11911 August 12, 2024 at 3:07 am

Every race Dillon has won has been from annihilating the leaders. Basically with 12 laps to go and the 3 car is in the top 5 – its time to dump him or he will wreck the whole field at the end. What an absolute hack.
