“It Was Kill or Be Killed” – Bubba Wallace Insider Demands NASCAR Send a Message Amid Kyle Busch’s Criticism

After the Clash at the Coliseum this year, the sentiment of last year was missing. Last year, it was of course because of the ‘first-time’ effect, the event was pretty well received. Also, in reality, it was a good race, especially compared to this year’s. Something Kyle Busch called “a disaster.”

Speaking after the Clash, Busch slammed what he witnessed as a driver from his colleagues.

“I would call it a disaster, with just the disrespect from everybody just driving through each other. Not letting everything kind of work its way out, but it’s a quarter-mile, it’s tight quarters racing,” mentioned the two-time Cup champion.

But it seems Busch wasn’t alone in his criticism of the race.

Freddie Kraft, the spotter of Bubba Wallace, also slammed the Clash and the drivers for the racing product they put on the show in the historic venue.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast, Freddie Kraft opened up on Busch’s comments after the Clash race which saw 16 cautions compared to just 5 last year.

“It was just; it was kill or be killed. Honestly, that was how it was. You could bump a guy, move him up the hill, go by him. I consider that clean. I mean, there’s ways to do it,” the spotter described. “If you come from 10 cars back and knock the guy…that’s one thing.”

“But if you run the guy down, you’ve caught him, you give him a little shot, move him up the hill, go by him, that’s a clean move to me. Not here. If you did that, the next corner, you were probably getting lit up by whoever was back there,” he continued.

“If that guy got shuffled back two rows, he didn’t care because he’s gonna drive both of those rows into you.”

Kraft added that some of the racing on display at Clash was simply “ridiculous.”

“There’s just no respect. I don’t understand. Like we talked about, these cars, we know they can’t take shots in the back and nobody really seemed to give a s**t,” he added.

The spotter also criticized the decision-makers for their own shortcomings with regard to such issues. These issues aren’t exactly recurring at this moment. However, they could very well in the future if things continue this way.

“NASCAR does nothing to police it. Like why would you not wreck the guy because there’s no consequences? You can’t be upset about the race,” Kraft said. “If NASCAR is happy with the product yesterday, then let it go.”

The spotter claimed it took “forever” to even run 10 laps in the second stage owing to the cautions and interruptions. Having said that, Kraft feels if NASCAR can just send a message, things can get better.

“If you just send the message one-time like ‘That’s not okay’, it probably calms a lot of it down,” he added.
