Lately, NASCAR fans have been expressing their displeasure with the league’s decisions.

Amidst all the chaos on the track, Circuit of The Americas certainly had an action-packed race.

While most senior drivers seemed overwhelmed by the road course and the whole layout, it was the younger drivers like Tyler Reddick who rose to the occasion. In the recent Dirty Mo Media podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr shared his take on the race and revealed his initial reactions.

Speaking to his long-time friend and co-host Mike Davis, the Hall of Famer talked at length on the multiple overtimes in the race and reflected on Denny Hamlin‘s #11 Toyota spinning out of control.

Regarding the flags, Dale Jr said, “So my first reaction was what the hell NASCAR, why is there yellow? Had a damn good race going, you screwed the flow up.” 

He further went on to elaborate his take on turn 8 as drivers were having a tough time with dirt there and Hamlin was unable to stop his Toyota from spinning out. He questioned NASCAR, saying, “My next reaction was well, how many drivers were complaining about that, I’m sure Denny was after he spun out in it.

“And if 2, 3, 4 guys complain, if they are hearing the chatter over the radio—and NASCAR monitors all of this—if they have anybody complaining about any kind of treachery on the race track: debris, dirt, they have to react, they can’t ignore, right?” 

As Mike Davis agreed with him, saying, “They’ve to consider it or take it seriously,” Junior furthered the context of the conversation, “One thing that I don’t know or I don’t have uh information about when that caution comes out is how many drivers are complaining about that, alright.”
