2023 NASCAR Races: #36 Phoenix - Championship

Denny Hamlin wins, followed by Kyle Larson and William Byron. Larson had the lead in the final lap, but Hamlin got Larson loose with the side draft, and Larson met the wall.

Never saw it that way 4me :eek:
Larson was loose the last so many laps, Hammy was judging when to pass him at right moment and did that with the help of that side drafting.
I don't particularly like Hammy but he did some good heads up driving.
Larson saw that too.

I did like the 'Grand Larsony' comment thou ... lol

On the last lap, Hamlin nudged Larson’s car in the left rear, pushing Larson into the outside wall. Larson regained control of his car, but Hamlin pushed past and won the race.

but 4me, nudging is racing :)
But that nudge was not on purpose, so it seemed to me.

Your favorite driver Kyle Busch, has done alot more the nudging, some of which he should have been banned from the sport all together. I remember a truck race where Kyle was outta contention for the championship but he had a skirmish with his nemesis and spun off the track, both did, but Kyle then he came at a caution at top speed and slammed into that other driver hard in a fit of anger and on a caution lap to boot, effectively taking him out of championship contention but luckily not killing him. Kyle should have been kicked outta the sport then and there. That's not all Kyle B has ever done :eek:

Hamlin has never been the kind of driver that will intentionally slam you into the wall or spin you off the track, not on purpose.

Rubbin' is Racing.

- Harry Hogge: Cole, you're wandering all over the track!
- Cole Trickle: Yeah, well this son of a bitch just slammed into me.
- Harry Hogge: No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he rubbed you. And son, rubbin' is racing.

:)
 
Way back in the day there was Stock Car Racing and Demolition Derbys and Never should those two Meet...!!! If One Has to Bump, Dump, Nudge, Ram or Rub to Win, One should bee Disqualified and even Banned...!!! Heck not to long ago One was Banned for Free Speech and Nobody but, But, BUTT, a Karen or two were Hurt...!! Bumping, Dumping, Nudging, Ramming and Rubbing Can lead to Someone getting Hurt, Maimed or even Killed...! They don't bee Driving at speeds like They did Back in the Day, They bee Flying w/o Wings at almost 200mph Today... Slap 'em and SLAP'em Hard...!

One of the Lucky Ones :

Ryan Newman was one corner away from winning his second Daytona 500 after achieving the feat in 2008. However, a big run from Ryan Blaney made his day end with a story no one could have imagined.

Newman spun back up the track and ended up flipping after contact with Blaney. While flipping, Corey LaJoie struck Newman on his driver’s side and launched him further into the air and down the track.

The driver of the No. 6 car was taken to a hospital in an ambulance as fans waited for word on his status. Fortunately, Newman was okay but was held out of a few races until he was ready to run again.

Newman lost his full-time seat in the No. 6 car at the conclusion of the 2021 season and has not raced in NASCAR since the championship race at Phoenix Raceway.
 
lol bud, I apologized for giving you the gears, not for what goes on the track.

This is racing, and it will and does get hecktic. If these guys did not expect or except that they should never set themselves behind the wheel of one of these race cars. I know there are situations that never should take place, but at 200 mph it can be quick decisions that make the day, sometimes bad decisions sometimes good.
Davey Allison almost died in a wreck but recovered, then what did he do? He got back in that car and drove like the champ he was for a few more years. It's guys like Kyle B that need to be penalized for the antics he does which sometimes are driven by anger. An angry man in a 650 or 750 HP car, are not a good combination when the guy acts on his anger. Most drivers don't.
Ryan Newman played the game, he knew what he was into.
So did Larson last night.

A driver could have the harmless enough wreck and come outta it in bad shape. Earnhardt Sr is a good example of . He died behind the wheel just because he had hit the wall and got his noodle shock up the wrong way.

If we are gonna put blame on these drivers for racing hard then perhaps this is not the sport for us.
The drivers know what they signed on for and live it every day.

Imagine what it was like when these cars were a ton of steel with steel interiors too and chrome moldings still pinned on the dashboards. Talk about danger !

Rubbing, nudging and even slamming one into the wall is racing , no matter how we may feel about it.
This ain't formular 1 , it's nascar.
These men are a breed above.

If the heat in the kitchen is too much, well you know what they say :)
