Crafton probably should face suspension and fines for instigating the fight if what Sanchez is saying is right.

Yeah. You don’t just sucker punch someone like that. That’s just ridiculous.

What an stupid, immature move by Crafton to tap Sanchez in the back and deliberately punch him.

Whatever punishment's handed down to him deserves it. Unacceptable.

I was just coming to share these videos. I’ll be shocked if there’s a suspension. Nascar has a history of letting guys fight off the track. Honestly, hoping they don’t do anything and Sanchez dumps Crafton at homestead.

I’m good with a post race fight, but don’t be a bitch. Square up on somebody like a man and handle business.

Congratulations to Jesse Love for winning the 2023 ARCA Menards Series Championship~!!!

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Feel like either him or Bayne end up replacing JHN next year in the Xfinity ride. Personally, I'd like to see Bayne. But I just like the guy. Won't shock me if it's Love, though.

From what I could tell Crafton was trying to block and get back in line in front of Sanchez but there was not enough room and Crafton took it as Sanchez purposely causing him to wreck when really Sanchez couldn't do anything to prevent Crafton from getting turned. It was typical racing.

Also I do think that Craftons taking out his frustrations over him having another lackluster year on Sanchez. He hasn't won a race since 2020 and really wasn't in the championship picture much this year. Just feel like he's losing his cool while being the veteran in the garage as the younger guys have more success.

I've seen comments of like "Well, he tapped Sanchez on the shoulder. He should have seen it coming" but a tap on the shoulder sometimes is someone being playful or whatever also. Like tapping the shoulder that's on the opposite side of where you're standing to trick the person. I have seen that happen way more than someone intending to throw an unexpected punch.

And we're underway at Talladega, for the YellaWood 500!

 

[Grim]

Talladega is a go!

 

[OsBlaze]

Hopefully a safe race today

Bell's not having a good day. Was 32nd before he pitted.
