You didn't need to be on the tower to see it. It still happens today getting other team drivers wins to 'lock in'. This totally exposed the stupidity of such a points system and NASCAR only doubled down on it. My 4 year old could run NASCAR better than it's current leadership. It's so pathetic what a great sanctioning body has become and how irrelevant stock car racing has become.

      Look up the Richmond race scandal, I don’t remember what year this was. Basically Michael Waltrip Racing radioed to their drivers, had one pit for no reason other than to manipulate points and had another intentionally spin his car out to bring out a yellow flag. Doing so put their other driver into the playoff format and knocked out a driver. When they caught wind of what MWR did they fined and penalized them, I don’t remember if the points penalty itself was enough to remove their car from the playoff chase or they outright removed them but they gave the spot to Jeff Gordon who was knocked out due to their manipulation of the race.

      Adding to rundown- the driver who was removed from the playoffs was Martin Truex Jr, who was sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts. Napa was so disappointed by what happened that they dropped their sponsorship of Michael Waltrip Racing's car, causing Martin Truex Jr to lose that ride and possibly his career in Cup racing. Fortunately, he ended up getting a ride later with Furniture Row Motorsports, where he struggled for a couple years, until they formed an alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing and he went on to win a championship at Furniture Row before moving to JGR. Meanwhile, Michael Waltrip Racing ended up closing their doors after losing not only Napa's sponsorship, but a few others as well and couldn't afford to continue racing.

  • @doomusrlc
    @doomusrlc 3 роки тому +3

    Damn i was hoping he'd talk more about Bowyer spinning... how i remember it: No matter what happened, Kahne was a lock for the chase due to 2 wins and below 10th in points (at the time it was top 10 plus highest winners between 11th and 20th in points). Newman took the lead from Edwards with 8 or 9 to go; a win would give him 2, and knock Truex out for sure. Bowyer spins, caution comes out and about everyone pits; Newman loses the lead. From there, Logano was ALSO behind Gordon in points, meaning Logano was 11th and Gordon 10th, this meant Logano would be the 12th man in the chase due to being higher in points than Newman or Truex. So Vickers pitting put Logano back to 10th and Gordon to 11th (Gordon didn't have a win yet that year). When all was said and done, IIRC Truex ended up tying Newman in points and got the tie breaker based on 2nd place finishes, and Logano beat Gordon by 1 to be 10th in points. The Front Row car of Gilliland (or maybe Ragan) helped Logano, and I believe they got fined afterwards, and that's what Ty was referring to there. Not sure what Hendrick car he was referring to "struggling", I'm guessing Kahne?

      "I don't think anyone from MWR will ever tell the full truth of that day." Probably not. I'm sure Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus will never ever admit to doing precisely what Ty Norris and Brian Vickers did at the exact same time. Hendricks is WAAAY too powerful for NASCAR to accuse of anything. Hendricks has manipulated the President of the United States to absolve him of criminal acts that he was sentenced to the Federal Penitentiary for. He's like "The Godfather" with all the power he wields and the "favors" he bestows on his friends. What chance does Brian Franz have against him calling him out for cheating in NASCAR? Two teams do the exact same thing at the exact same time and one team owner (MWR) gets fined one of the largest fines in the history of NASCAR and is disgraced. The other team owner (HMS) gets NASCAR to change the rules on the spot to allow his driver into the playoffs when the rules said no. I realize that Rick Hendricks is one of the most respected owners in NASCAR, just not by me.
