I predict Christopher Bell will win this weekend at Michigan to get redemption from Richmond last week
Bell redemption arc before gta 6
@@watermelonhandz9003 good one
Before y’all start arguing about “you always say that” he is a Christopher Bell DIEHARD and is autistic. How do I know that? He commented that one day
I just hope that Talentless Dillon doesn’t take him out during the race
@@SomethingNeptunian I hope not ether
Alr I’m glad Dillon won, but it absolutely deserved a penalty. Like really? You’ll penalize logano but not Dillon? Edit: I just found out about him not being locked in, spotter suspended, and getting docked 25 points
They did penalize Dillon.
Why does Dillon need to be penalized? People like you are why the sport has went downhill. I’m 21 years old and the only time I ever watch it is when someone does an interesting move like this. All these stupid penalties for bumping and wrecking are what killed this sport, it needs to return to the rules of the Earnhardt Sr. days then NASCAR would have an audience again.
@@Caymic welll that’s BS.
@@the_brett03This isnt wreckfest its Nascar
@@misterredbull_jr.No but it’s going to include wrecks and they don’t need to penalize for them. If you’re driving a race car and you see that as your only chance to win, you would do the same thing. Logano and Hamlin would’ve done the same thing if they were in that position, they both have before. It’s ridiculous for the corporate of nascar to be handing out penalties when less than 5% of those people have ever stepped in a race car before
Totally ridiculous behavior. People should never have to jump out of the way of your car just because you’re mad.
people who aren’t members of the team should not be on pit road until all cars are parked and engines off just like pre race period.
@@jjmckay6man1that does not give an excuse to HIT SOMEONE
@willjordan3308He didn’t hit anyone what the hell are you on about
I’m a big Joey fan but I totally agree with the penalty. He let his anger get the best of him. Thankfully no one was hurt. I do believe no one should be on pit road with exception of officials until all cars have stopped. Regardless Joey was out of line in what he did.
Should not be on pit lane period!
Stop blaming the driver
What was the penalty?
50k fine
@@awesomeeli8251 not enough. He has that in his wallet
@@awesomeeli8251 for a driver of that caliber on the team that he is, it should’ve been at least triple
This was worse than the actual wreck
NASCAR made the right call. I’ll take Dillion not being in the playoffs. Logano should’ve known not to do what he did Logano I understand your frustration. Go get 3m at Michigan logano
That penalty should have been double for Joey…
No should have been double for Dillion
@@drewrockwell8000 that shouldve not happen. Austin deserves better this is a bunch of crap!
@@BradKeselowski6 Should have been bigger than a fine in my opinion.
Joey’s penalty needs to be bigger damnit!
Granted there shouldn’t be any non-crew members on a hot pit road, but this is unexcusable!
@@kevinhunter3358cry harder
@@kevinhunter3358*in
He could reach in his cup holder and find that fine
Acting this way on pit road is more egregious than what Dillon did. Drivers should be suspended for any safety violations in situations like this.
Took a lot longer than I think it should have but they made the right decisions for Dillon and Logano.
Karma
NO MORE ICE CREAM FOR JOEY FOR A WEEK !!!
Thts Freaging BS. But I guess when grandpa is paying the way
Joey almost hit like 15 people on pit road. How’s that RC’s fault?
Logano should be parked
That official who immediately comes up to Joey and gives him an earful needs a raise.
*FIRED
Why wasn’t he trying to get the spectators off the track? Cars were still out, you do not leave the spectator designated areas and enter the track when it is active. What Joey did wasn’t the correct way to handle this but every official there not trying to get people off the track should be canned.
@@imadequate3376there are designated officials supposed to do that. I believe he was designated to the post race inspection on the car, not crowd control, he was actually more out of his lane doing what he did but he is the only official that had the balls to reprimand logano like the child he acted like
Kids on pit road is crazy
Your officials were done for the day there with a hot track situation still existing. Most I’ve seen were helmets off, bebopping down the pit lane like they’d just hit the clock out button. They certainly weren’t making sure access to a hot race track was controlled until a cold race track was declared.
Maybe he visited east oakland earlier in the week
Joey had EVERY RIGHT to be pissed off. Dillon tried to kill him and Hamlin just to win. I don’t agree with what Joey did on pit road but I see where he came from.
As a fan, notice how all of this recklessness has been peaking and it’s all been because of the playoffs format. Should’ve seen it coming in the first year they ran it. It’s time to bring back the old points system
