Funny observation..

My NASCAR friends thought Regan Smith made a legit pass.

My road racing friends thought it was dirty.

Don't want to get bumped for the win, don't leave yourself open to get bumped

Sorry, but that's complete bull when the exact guy who tried to fight someone for the same move does it to someone else for the win. That is absolutely hypocritical Bull 🤬

 

[Spirit]

Not winning in a long time is the perfect excuse to take it from someone who was going to beat you fair and square. Flawless logic.

There's a difference between bumping a guy out of the way without spinning him going for the win on the last turn of the race and spinning someone out after a restart for 3rd place

Yeah, the difference is Ty Dillon didn't win the race.

One is dirty, one is dirty for 3rd.

And that his move wasn't for the lead, and that it end up costing Regan more than one place

 

[RACECAR]

Same result though: Someone got knocked out the way (which is the issue)

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Maybe he'd win more races if he'd race with a more levelheaded mindset like his teenage teammate that is the defending champion did last year.

 

[GTPorsche]

It also wasn't the last lap. Stop trying to justify a dirty move.

Exactly why it's less acceptable

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

People complain when drivers don't push hard enough for the win but complain when they make moves like this. Sorry but you can't have it both ways.

 

[RACECAR]

I hate that move, period in ANY race.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I think he pushed really hard the whole time. It's still a fair win but it's not how to make friends.

 

[Eva]

The move, as a fan of road racing, was terrible. We all can chant and use Regan Smith effigies all we want to, but NASCAR won't do anything, and the terrible racing will continue. He proved why he isn't in the Sprint Cup Series, so I guess he still gets a thumbs up...

If this happened in any non-american series, there would have been penalties.

 

[GTPorsche]

If this happened in any other series, there would have been penalties.

Fixed.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I wouldnt be as agitated if he didnt get on a soap box last week about poor driving standards. Granted it was a nasty move, at least he didn't pull a Keselowski and flat dump Tag.

 

[Jahgee]

So is this move dirty?

 

[Spirit]

Well at least Tag can leave knowing that he earned his result fair and square and didn't have to beat everyone out of his way because that's "racing". Stuff like that is one reason why I don't like very many NASCAR drivers, they completely forget what respect and sportsmanship is at the sight of a checkered flag.

No...he just apparently learned to drive in GT6 career mode.

 

[nascarfan1400]

So is this move dirty?

Yes.

 

[Eva]

So is this move dirty?

Sorry for the double post, but yes. I see that as an equivalent.

 

[ukfan758]

So is this move dirty?

Yes.

 

[GTPorsche]

So is this move dirty?

Yes.

 

[nascarfan1400]

This is how i see it in real life, iRacing, NR, GT6, whatever- If you cant make a pass cleanly, then you have no business making one in the first place.

 

[Jahgee]

If that's considered dirty, then NASCAR may not be the racing series for you

 

[ukfan758]

If that's considered dirty, then NASCAR may not be the racing series for you

Well they should assign penalties for bull:censored: like today.

 

[Demon Drone]

If that's considered dirty, then NASCAR may not be the racing series for you

If you want to even call NASCAR racing.

 

[nascarfan1400]

If that's considered dirty, then NASCAR may not be the racing series for you

This is why it is the sport for a lot of us. A lot of the bumps here were unavoidable
