that track was very very dry and doesn't hold moisture very well it's very hard to pass on and requires a lot of HP the drivers have to take chances to get around the slower car in front of him Grant just ran out of real estate and he knew it so if the drivers just stayed in line it would be a follow the leader race which would be pretty boring.

I know. probably a bad choice of words on my part. The national points guys do seem more aggressive. They can afford it.

You lost me at “Bacon does not have any history of dirty driving”. I’ve seen him dump several people down through the years.

Let's say I stick the bottom in 1 and 2 and you are on the cushion, now as we come down the backstretch I arc up to the wall to go into 3 but I'm only to your front wheel. Are you going to lift or are you going to eat the wall because you shouldn't have to change your line? This happens all the time as well, it's much less aggressive but the same situation. If you don't lift someone is crashing. Why do I get the feeling that if Kyle Larson would have showed up and pulled these same moves we would have celebrated his hard racing style? Because he does it in the midgets and no one cares. |

To quote Jack Hewitt….. if these things were safe and easy to drive everyone in the grandstand would want to drive one……or to update his quote, everyone behind a keyboard

Grant does have a history of being aggressive but I don't think he "laughed" off his contact with Rogers, he said he would look at the video and if he short slid him he was sorry but if Rogers had a chance to stab the brakes and cut under him was not.
If he determines that his decision to try an unsuccessful move could have been avoided by the other driver hitting the brakes, then I must have forgotten what racing is. He came out on nite 1 of the season to play off driving over his “friend” Jake Swanson in Florida by saying I’m not here to make friends I’m here to win races. For me that means any move he tries good or bad is ok because he is here to win races. I sure do hope if it’s down to the wire for the championship out west and he gets stuffed in the fence by a bad slider by someone who thought JG could have tapped the brakes, he doesn’t ***** about. |

When was the last time someone was set down for "rough driving"? Hit them in the pocketbook, points, etc.
