The payback will have to come at Miami to count. I'll bet one of the other 3 wins anyway.

Unpopular opinion (Apparently? can't see why it is other than who it was): Truex is crying because he got raced the way people have always raced each other on a short track. The bump and run is what short tracks are most well known for. And yes, it was a bump and run, not a dump or any of that other bs. Truex never got put in the wall, he never got spun, he finished the race almost where he was up to a lap prior.

There used to be a thing called racing. Occasionally you would lean on another car when passing them, hence "rubbing is racing". "Bump and run is racing" has never been a thing. It is accepted now because it is "exciting". Well I call bullshit. Lack of talent and lack of set-up make bump and run OK to the masses, but it will never be a thing for me. It is chickenshit.

Senior created the worst tactic in 'racing' and got rewarded for it; racing has suffered ever since.

Double Standards will never go out of style.

My opinion is the same no matter which driver does it. It is chickenshit racing. It is a display of a lack of driving skill to next to the guy in front. NASCAR lets it go and the series gets to me more and more of a joke. Soon no one will want to lead on a short track knowing what is coming. Total crap.

It's been a part of stock car racing forever. From the 50's when every race was a short track, through today. It's used in all levels of full body short track racing. The level of how much rubbin' you can get away with varies with the organization (or lack of). We don't see it as much anymore because the cars are more spread out, and the megasponsors of the 90's and 2K's castrated the drivers. Which is a hot topic when fans say they quit watching...

Good clean/hard racing to the finish.

Good clean/hard racing to the finish. Banging doors is racing. Chrome Horns are chickenshit and always have been. What you posted was a perfect example of banging doors, but not "moving" someone.
