Crafton sucker punches Sanchez after the race, but it appeared to me, with slow playback speed, that Crafton came down instead of holding his line. No matter how it happened (the wreck/crash), I think that was a cheap shot by Crafton.

Exactly what happened. Sanchez never moved while Crafton went down. Yet then he sucker punches him. Coward.

@Ranger_Enigma I get disgusted with grown men acting like they’re in friggin grade school…. especially as blessed as they are to have such a life as theirs is. Of all things to throw a tantrum.

Matt left to much room in the middle Nick was in the right by my view

That’s all on Crafton there. Can’t expect people to lift when there’s a race at stake late.

Crafton throws a block mid-pack and even after the wreck, swings down and clobbers the 17. Veteran moves i guess

Tommy Clayton September 30, 2023 at 11:25 pm

he was hooked

Reply
ArsènePicaro September 30, 2023 at 11:49 pm

@Tommy Clayton *hooked himself
Nick held his line. It was a late move that the 88’s spotter couldn’t relay in time.

Gforcebond October 1, 2023 at 2:08 pm

That’s why Sanchez got bloodied was because he turned Matt

Reply
Tommy Clayton October 1, 2023 at 4:04 pm

@PhantomThiefOfSports  Yeah he had his back wheels picked up. He was pushing so aggressive all day. Matt was turning right and then he hit him in left rear bumper and turned him.

Nick wasn’t tryin too block that hard. Wow go punch Sanchez again til he learns

Nick was the one who held his line. Crafton turned himself

He moved to the middle n held, Crafton tried to block late. Craftons fault 100%.

aggressive move by nick but he held his line, i’d definitely put more of the blame on crafton, but overall a racing incident

Brutal hit for the 20

Whoa what a Contact there.

It was Sanchez’s fault. Crafton couldn’t hold his line with Sanchez under his rear bumper like a dozer

I dunno man, Crafton left a pretty big gap. things happened so fast, but i think nick did try to at least move out of the way before crafton came down

Reply
Gforcebond October 1, 2023 at 2:11 pm

@SurrealCereal There wasn’t even a lane he just bulldozed through.

Reply
SurrealCereal October 1, 2023 at 2:19 pm

@Gforcebond my bad i thought you were talking about crafton for some reason
i think what nick did is fair, he had 3 trucks pushing him, even in sim racing it’s well known that if you give the car behind you enough room, they wont wait for you to come back before passing you by, when you have so many cars pushing you it’s not a matter of braking or swerving.

Maybe he should retire

Announcers today suck. Call it how it is. Don’t call it as PC as you can. Sanchez spun Crafton probly by accident. Call it how it is. Don’t be a coward.

Craft on caused that crash.

Someone start a petition to suspend Crafton for the rest of the year! That was dirty!
