While the general consensus on the NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington was that it was a pretty good race, with a controversial finish, there were some who didn’t feel that it was all that good. But at the same time, there were also a few, like the spotter of Bubba Wallace, who didn’t enjoy the race, mainly because their driver got caught up in the wrecks during the race.

“We saw Ross Chastain wreck, we saw Martin Truex wreck, we saw William and Joey racing each other hard. I am spot on for any time you see these guys up on the wheel, taking control of these cars. These cars are hard to drive again, and these guys have their hands full,” Griffin said in a recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast.

“I mean, they talk about it all the time. We only saw 23 cars finish the race at Darlington. Anytime you see hard racing, and it produce an entertaining race, I thought it was a great race.”

“I got collected in this mess. Again, we were all in the same wreck with Denny (Hamlin), the boss, so as he is wrecking he is watching his two cars wreck. And I’m sure he was thrilled about it,” Kraft said.

“At 23XI, we just can’t catch a break lately,” he continued. “We had speed; we were probably the 7th-8th place car, and we get caught up in a mess. Kurt (Busch) had miserable pit stops all day, he drove back to the Top tens every time, and he got caught in the mess.”

“We’re looking for a break over there.”
