FOX Sports commentator Darrell Waltrip let slip a little bias saturday night as Stock Car Racing fans witnessed a turn three crash between Kyle Busch #18 Toyota and the # 88 Chevrolet of Dale Earnhardt jr. at Richmond Virginia's 3/4 mile speedway.
" He turned him" meaning Busch was the comment made by Waltrip about an incident between Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. but from my perspective Waltrip got it wrong and fellow television commentator Mike Joy got it right.
Dale Earnhardt turned down in corner number three in an attempt to pinch Kyle Buschs' race car and slow his momentum. Busch was more than half way up the door panel on the inside of Jr's car in the backstretch and Jr knew that he would have been beat on the exit of turn four if he gave Kyle the room he needed to get by.
For those Earnhardt fans who might question my comment, Watch how early Jr's race car crosses the white lane lines as the two competitors approach the third turn at the track.
Did Kyle Busch get too deep into the corner and get his stock car loose ? Sure ...but that's his job.
Go fast and win races.
What racing fans saw was the type of good hard stock car racing that we should expect to see at every NASCAR weekend event.
I look forward to your comments.
