Byron led at Talladega today 2 or 3 different times. He was in Top 10 with 20 laps to go, when he was wrecked by Jimmie Johnson.

That's Jimmy John's. Not Johnson. Both are freaky fast though.
And Johnson didn't wreck Byron. It was a mutual coming together, Jimmy came down and William rose up the track a little and they never even actually touched. William checked up when Jimmy started going sideways and got run into from behind.

Byron looking good at Daytona. Made a run for the first stage. Now running second, 50 of 160 laps in.

Bummer for Byron. Led several laps, got clipped from behind thanks to Stenhouse/Kyle Busch. Had a great run going.

Tonight was best chance to get a win & lock in to the chase. I just don’t Hendricks having enough speed for him to win anywhere else before the cutoff.

NASCAR needs to to park Stenhouse. He has wrecked Byron before.

I mean Byron was leading before both wrecks.

The person holding up traffic in the Passing lane on 81 is in the Lead too.

Henhouse caused 2 wrecks, and I believe 2 other caution flags. NASCAR should have parked him.

He has a history of causing wrecks at Talladega and Daytona. If my memory is correct, he has wrecked Byron before.

Because Byron doesn’t know how to drive. Like the car who cuts in front of you when you are cruising down the road

Comparing interstate driving to Nascar makes sense....

First one was arguable, but he was established in both cases.

Classless nascar drivers driving too fast! They don't race with fundamentals anymore! It's out of control how nascar officials are plotting against a college student! Outrageous i tell you!

8)

But seriously the late, great Dale Earnhardt often "guided" cars out of his way. If they ended up wrecking so be it. Stop crying, snowflakes. :D

Hm I guess these guys don’t know what they are talking about either

Ricky was doing the best he could to give me a good push and had a great run to take the lead and the car in front of me (William Byron) just threw a late, bad block. I made the mistake of lifting instead of just driving through him and that’s my fault. I know better than that.

"I’ve got to wreck more people and then they’ll stop blocking me late and behind like that. That’s my fault. I’ll take the credit for my team and we’ll go to Talladega and we’ll wreck everybody that throws a bad block like that.”

You’ve got a list of drivers that are making moves that they’re unqualified to make and it causes big wrecks,” Keselowski said, via ESPN’s Bob Pockrass.

Kelowski was just defending another Ford driver.

I put Ford drivers on my same list as Longwood softball.

Stenhouse said he saw it both ways on the first crash. He admitted complete fault on the second, stating he was driving too aggressive. When you have an aggressive block with a low probability aggressive inside pass, tie goes to the leader imo.

Been a disappointing season so far. Looking like the rookie squad they are with the two tire changes, and some of the driving. Hopefully they can get it together the last few races.

Stenhouse needs to learn that one cannot drive at Talladega or Daytona, the same way one drives at Martinsville or Bristol. NASCAR should have parked him at Daytona.

Critics use to say the same thing about Earnhardt Sr. :lol:

True, but he was also one of the most aggressive (some would argue dirty) drivers ever.
