quote: Call it a pick or whatever you want...by dropping down when there wasnt room. No one has faulted Joey for the move. He pushed his line up to try and trap the 18 behind the 2 who was having engine issues, was a good move. You also can't blame the 18 for seeing it and making a move to avoid a wreck. There was plenty of room if Joey sticks to the line he ran the whole race, instead he came up to the middle where nobody runs because there's no grip and you don't get the same momentum as you would running the top. That sequence was two drivers trying to win by bumping and taking advantage of traffic, I have zero issue with either driver there.

quote: Busch caused himself to wreck, The bumping/pick have zero to do with what happened in turn 4. Joey got upset that his pick didn't work and he didn't have the car to win a drag race with the 18 so he wrecked him. This is what anyone who is not a Penske fan is acknowledging as a bad move by a young driver who is starting to develop a reputation as a guy who will wreck you if he can't pass you and won't even admit to it. At least Carl, Big E, and Rowdy admitted they initiated contact. Trying to constantly blame the other driver is tired and completely disingenuous.
