The phrase “do whatcha gotta do” is such transparent horseshit too. I do wonder if we’d see less of this if the Chase didn’t exist in its current form where winning is essentially unecessarily inflated with forced context.

Given Logano’s interview, I think the Chase has caused pretty much all of this.

My thoughts exactly. NASCAR sold themselves out for pure entertainment value. This finish is simply a product of that.

Which is why I don't see anything wrong with Logano's bump-and-run, given that.

that might fly in ARCA Speed Trooks but this is Nascar.

Flipped to it randomly after fast-forwarding through F1 (couldn't watch it live). At least nobody was shown to be ramming other cars into the wall after the race like last year

That was a pretty good (and clean by short track standards) pass by Logano, it was only dramatic once Truex turned down into him when he was alongside and they both started sliding. Truex would have done the same thing and has nothing to complain about.

He literally raced him cleanly for every lap preceding that.

Every lap proceeding that wasn't the last lap. Guys with clean reputations like Gordon have made moves like that, the victim is always grumpy about it but judged against the history of short track racing in Cup, I wouldn't call it dirty driving.

Earnhardt wrecks Labonte out of the way when Labonte had the clear faster car, classic NASCAR finish. 10 laps of side by side clean racing with a bumper put forth in the last corner, bullshit manufactured finish. Todays fans.

Labonte hit Earnhardt twice leading up to that.
