It's awesome when Kyle Busch does it. Or the 3 driver when he wrecked the 10 at Daytona on the last lap. For some reason it's horrible when the 22 does it. And he barely touched him. If I was forced to pick a "favorite driver", it would probably be Truex Jr. Class act all the way. But as Kyle Petty just pointed out, this has been going on in NASCAR for 70 years. I did find it interesting that TV decided to interview Logano on the back stretch for two minutes, and gave Truex 10 minutes on the front stretch. Case closed as far as NBC in concerned.
I want Truex Jr. to win the Championship.
a) Because I've never had any issues with him.
b) It will highlight the ridiculous current situation of NASCAR - your top team folds....
Yes, the case is closed - for now, but Logano might get a Kenseth type kick out of the championship from Truex Jr.
If you remember, it was also a big deal with Chase vs Denny....The case was closed for NBC, by the way they treated the winner of the race, vs. Truex Jr. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing. Agree that NASCAR has designed the championship this way. This is what they wanted. But last lap moves out of the way for the win are normal stuff in NASCAR. Why is this one such a big deal? What would Truex have done on the last lap, given his situation, had the position of the two cars been reversed? And of the current 8, I am also pulling for the 78 team. But dang, Logano didn't wreck him, he just moved him out of the way. We usually see praise heaped upon the driver that wins by moving somebody and not wrecking him. This is just bizarre.
If you remember, it was also a big deal with Chase vs Denny....
When nice guys get moved out of the way, there is less praise.....If Kyle Busch was moved out of the way, there would be cheers....
I will say that NASCAR drivers do not forget and if Truex does not make the final four, Logano should expect another Kenseth treatment at Homestead. What goes around comes around.
