NASCAR Journalist’s Harsh Reality Check Forces Fan to Delete Tweet in Exchange About Stock Car Racing

The Southern National Motorsports Park recently witnessed some of the best NASCAR late-model racing. While Brenden ‘Butterbean’ Queen claimed the win in an intense three-way battle, Josh Berry showed resolve in his preparation for 2024. Truck Series driver Kaden Honeycutt also came up with the goods and pushed the leaders until the finish line. This glorious display of racing had renowned journalist Matt Weaver enthralled, as he expressed on Twitter.

However, when a certain fan questioned his choice of ethics over the rough nature of the prestigious race, Weaver had to dish a dose of reality back. Clarifying the controlled aggression and excellent display of racing spirit, Weaver reiterated his opinion about quintessential short-track racing.

Matt Weaver silences NASCAR fan’s criticism over racing ethics

Brenden Queen and Josh Berry went up against each other with 25 laps to go. Pole winner Kaden Honeycutt then used this opportunity to go down the inside and continue to fight for the lead from there. That is when Queen blocked the 20-year-old Truck Series driver. Honeycutt expressed his frustration at the rough racing after the race as well.

Weaver was keeping a close eye on the proceedings and was excited as three of the race’s best drivers locked horns. In response to a critic [whose tweet is not deleted], he wrote, “I’m not here to debate racing ethics. I’m here to tell you I jumped like four times watching from Turn 3. What I felt was authentic and was shared by a couple thousand people in Lucama. That’s all that matters, that it makes you feel. That’s the point of all of this.”

On a second mention of it, Matt Weaver recited the conditions under which the Late-Model cars raced. He explained that drivers need to go for every inch of space and that is what gave rise to the quality of racing.

Josh Berry, on the other hand, was happy to race this intensely after a while. Understanding the reason behind Queen’s actions, he said, “It was rough, but it’s easy to get frustrated over that stuff,” as per NASCAR.com.

“I got around and I can’t really remember everything that happened. I thought I was clean about it the first time but then he [hit] me and it was on from there. If I ran [Late Model Stocks] full time, I might have been a little rougher, but I respect these guys a lot.”

With his transition to NASCAR Cup Series, Berry has reinforced his arsenal in the off-season. The difference in experiences between Berry and Honeycutt was largely due to their finishes in the end. Honeycutt will look to get his chance again in 2024 and Queen takes home the $15,000 cash prize.
