Tony Stewart’s NASCAR Driver Reveals “Unspoken Rule” as He Declares the Sport Powerless in Kyle Busch’s “Respect” Argument

Ever since Kyle Busch opened up on the lack of respect between drivers in today’s NASCAR, everyone started to observe that there is in fact, a lack of mutual respect on track. Last weekend it was a frustrated Ryan Preece who felt he wasn’t raced cleanly as he vented out his frustration.

“I got wrecked by a bunch of hacks,” Preece said in a post-race interview. “You want to know what this is? This comes down to a lack of respect.” He called out the drivers who “just pay their way,” and don’t respect cars.

“They just run into everyone,” he claimed. “Somebody needs an a** kicking.”

But while Busch had suggested some measures to deal with this whole problem, Tony Stewart‘s driver has a different opinion on who should take the first step in eliminating the disrespect.

Unlike Kyle Busch, Preece doesn’t think NASCAR should be responsible to bring a change

Speaking ahead of the Cup Series race in Richmond, Preece was questioned about his course of action on the whole “lack of respect between drivers” debate if he were in NASCAR’s position. The driver said that’s not where the initiative is supposed to come from.

“I don’t think that anything that they do can change that. I think that’s a respect level within the driver’s circle. From where I come from, there is that unspoken rule and, by no means am I saying I’m an angel because I’ve certainly wrecked people,” he told Frontstretch’s Andrew Stoddard, adding, “I wouldn’t say it was ever going into a corner and saying, ‘Man, I’m just gonna destroy this guy.’

“I think it needs to be started within the driver’s circle and that’s how it’s going to be fixed.”

Bubba Wallace had a radically opposite view of the whole respect debate

Wallace said, “It’s from the top down. We’re talking about the new age but can’t even talk to some of the guys that have been here for a long time, so it’s a lack of respect from the top down.”

With that said, do you think there will come a point when NASCAR will hammer down on the dirty drivers on the track? Or will the change begin, as Preece said, from the drivers?
