“You Were Never Gonna Sell Me On That” – Bubba Wallace’s Spotter Slams NASCAR’s Deceptive Excuses

The 2022 NASCAR season is the debut year for the new Next Generation cars and drivers have already started noting down a few things about them. From the drivers to the experts, the next gen cars have attracted quite a bit of controversy off-late. Freddie Kraft explains further.

The member of the Door Bumper Clear podcast has slammed NASCAR for their response to the Darlington crash. The NASCAR spotter stated, “I mean first of all, how in the world can you come out and say that we’re suddenly hitting the wall differently than we ever have?”

“What does that look like? What are these angles we’ve never hit at before that was suddenly hit this year that was never done?” shared the spotter of Bubba Wallace.

“You are never gonna convince me that we are wrecking differently now… The statements of wrecking in different angles.. you were never gonna sell me on that,” the Door Bumper Clear co-host further asserted.

On NASCAR’s explanation to the incident, the veteran spotter revealed, “So they came out and said, NASCAR’s statement was ‘the reason why the drivers are feeling the effects now are 1) we’re hitting it in different angles now and 2) we’re going faster than we’ve ever got before.”

The Daytona and Darlington issues altogether in NASCAR

The recent races at Darlington and Daytona saw way too many crashes. Even though the latter half of the Daytona crashes caused due to rain, it still had tough impacts.

The Daytona Speedway race saw multiple crashes where as many as 20 cars got involved. As a matter of fact, the Cook Out Southern 500 race also saw Chase Elliott slide his car’s back against the wall, and collect Chase Briscoe in the process in the initial stage.

The Next Gen cars also had other issues apart from the impact of the crashes that they were facing. The cars saw reliability issues as Kevin Harvick’s car saw flames come out underneath the hood. Moreover, Kyle Busch‘s no. 18 also had to retire for an engine failure.

Moreover, the car has no side force. As a result, the back of the car goes against the wall, shared by Cup Series driver Tyler Reddick (referring to the Chase Elliott incident). All in all, things aren’t quite the way NASCAR and its fan had expected from the Next Gen cars.
