I'm not one for conspiracies and stuff like that. But I truly believe that when NASCAR saw that there wasn't going to be a single Hendrick car or Chevy in the championship for then they made the call
October 10, 2022. Cole Custer & Stewart Haas were penalized 50 driver points, 50 owner points & $100,000 for manipulating the outcome of a race. The #1, #3 & #23 team should get at least that much, if not more. They made a total joke of Nascar racing. Disgusting!
So the fact that you had two Chevy drivers that were capable of passing Byron, not passing Byron but blocking for Byron had no impact on the race finish and who advanced whatsoever huh
What a Joke!!!! They let two chevy drivers manipulate the end of a race as they were pretty much told to not let anyone pass. Nascar has stooped to a new low. No one is supposedly allowed to do so unless your blocking for a Hendric Chevrolet. If I'm the fords and toyota teams next week i would not allow a chevy a chance to pass any of the other 3 cars that are left. They should be able to do the same thing next week the chevy drivers did. I'm not serious of corse but way to go Nascar, Your sport is not legit anymore. It's a Joke!!!!!!!
I am baffled why Nascar only enforce a portion or certain of their rules? A.Dillon not passing Byron then Chevrolet team blocking tactic that lasted for almost 10 laps is against the rules! However Mr. Sawyer simply brushes that off! Really!
"The playoff system I would say it has delivered, I mean it puts these guys on ten tenths and they gotta bring their A game every week, so I think from a fan and watching today you know, you saw everything you wanted to see" How can anyone be this blatantly ignorant of how the fan base feels right now? How can you look at this mass controversy created by the disastrous manufactured system NASCAR has created, and believe that the fans are actually satisfied with this outcome?
The Chevys literally cheated but Bell hit the wall after getting loose and now you have TWO of the best drivers OUT od the championship. I swear they are obsessed with having either Hendrick or Penske win every title.
The old points system has its own down side. Personally I think that downside is far worse than the downside of this format. It's not fun when the season champ can be determined 2-5 races before the end of the season. It makes the last races basically pointless and not exciting to watch when you already know who the champ is. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. Do i think some changes could be made, yes, but i really don't think going backwards is a good idea. They changed the format because fans were complaining that the champ was crowned to early in the season and it ruined the end of the season, and now people like yourself are complaining that the champ doesn't get crowned until the last race.
@@timmorin69 Going backwards would be awesome since NASCAR is dead now. I was a fan for over 40 years and they have gone to poopoo. Now, they are Wokescar.
@randallreece3636 That's exactly what they did. I say next week the Fords and Toyota s need to block all Chevy drivers from passing and protect Blaney, Reddick and Lagano. Making sure a Chevrolet don't win the Championship. If Chevy can get away with it the other makes should use the same strategy.
They had 3 organizations for sure manipulating the outcome of a championship race, the 4th is seriously suspect, and that's the best answer they have? Wow
Nascar should have disqualified both bryon and Chevy for blocking cheat and bell and Wallace for cheating by giving spot and wall running and given next driver Larson the 4th spot
Gimmick style manufactured excitement. It is stupid. Dudes that had mediocre to crappy seasons can win a title over the most consistent drivers every year. It is garbage. This was race manipulation plain and simple ple
That’s the problem. They both laughing to the bank with there fixed cars. That’s why some weeks Joey n Blaney are better than Brad and buescher. NASCAR has the outcome before the cars take practice
Thank God for dirt track racing. NASCAR has totally put out a shit product. When you have incompetent decisions made by incompetent people like Sawyer what do you expect
NASCAR lost all credibility today. You saw two cars manipulation of the ability for the 24 car to secure his finish position. You saw a car alter his speed and position on the track to allow the 20 car a path and easy pass. You also heard voice comments between these cars setting this scenario up. I am pretty sure there are rules about fixing outcomes of races. Didn't this cost Michael Waltrup his race team ?? The 24, 3, 1, 20 and 23 should have been disqualified with crew Chiefs suspended. Larson should have been the 4th team in the final 4.
NASCAR is never gonna change this garbage format. They through Elton's comments here tell me they're 100% proud the playoffs provide the absolute clown show that was the end of last night's race year in and year out cause of the OEMs getting away with running the show. So Bell's semi-Hail Melon-ish move was what NASCAR just had to get all over as soon as possible but literal Spingate 2.0 with Chevy's ''deal'' as clearly heard and instructed across the faster Dillon and Chastain's radios who blocked for Byron instead of passing him, and Toyota with Wallace deliberately slowing way down to make sure Bell passed him which all manipulated the outcome of the race and building of the final four doesn't matter and they just brush it off? What a damn joke!
It's such bull shit. Those two Chevy drivers both had radio communications directly telling them to not ask him what kind of competition is that. Bells was someone who got loose into the corner and couldn't get his car off the wall. The 1 & 3 were holding up half of the field for multiple laps for the 24. How is that ant better or different. At least Bell was being competitive and trying. This looked more like F1 then nascar.
@ and 23 conveniently had a flat tyre. There could be more penalties coming when they review that all. All I am saying how did take NASCAR 27 mins to make that decision when it looked to be a clear wall ride.
Just like Byron, chastain, Dillion but since there isn’t an official rule in the rule that says u can’t block for someone so they can get in even though they stated there as a rule back in 2017 and 2013
No rule broke. Byron would have lost 5 spots if the 1 and 3 hadn't blocked for him and bell wouldn't even have had to pass anyone. Bubba faked a flat and bell dove in and hit the wall, but had the chevys not cheated for for Byron then bell would have made the chase.

I hope they checked the 23 car for his fake tire going flat when he slowed to let the 20 by.
About as quick as they checked out the noose...............
The last 12 laps of that race was like roller derby!
so if you hit the wall in any race you take the chance of getting a penalty.
Nascar should have disqualified both bryon and Chevy for blocking cheat and bell and Wallace for cheating by giving spot and wall running and given next driver Larson the 4th spot
😅the 1 and the 3 blocked for the 24 no doubt about it.they blocked for almost 15 laps they all should be disqualified!!

Yep i prefer Saturday night short track racing anyways .

Who are you saying had a crapppy season , please explain I can’t wait
Great race! Until you fucked it up, Elton!
Wait... when did Elton Sawyer become the vp of competition for nascar?? Am I trippin', really? This explains a lot.
So is it safety violation every time a driver hits the wall now?
bookies are loving these outcomes ha ha
That’s the problem. They both laughing to the bank with there fixed cars. That’s why some weeks Joey n Blaney are better than Brad and buescher. NASCAR has the outcome before the cars take practice

Larsen rides the wall every week and that's ok.
27mins to make that call is insane. first time I saw it I thought it was a clear wall ride. He was against the wall and throttled up.
And the #1 and #3 clearly blocked for Byron

It sure looked like a lot of funny business with going around the ending of that race.The Chevy drivers looked like they were manipulating the race.
How so? Max wins P1 and then Max wins.

F1 isn’t even close to NASCAR for exciting racing.
