The NASCAR Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course was a whole bundle of mixed emotions. While Tyler Reddick had a phenomenal day, taking his second win at a road course, Chase Elliott lost it all in the very end.

Another loser from the duck-shaped road course was Ryan Blaney. Unfortunately, the #12 got sandwiched between Daniel Suarez and William Byron, which caused him to spin. As Dale Jarrett blamed Suarez for ruining Blaney’s day, Dale Earnhardt Jr. found a perfect opportunity for a joke.

In fact, Junior mocked Jarrett with a meme.

Daniel Suarez was part of the mosh pit created on turn 1 right after the restart. However, Dale Jarrett put a target on Suarez for ending Blaney‘s chances. However, the Mexican defended himself as he spoke up against Jarrett in a Tweet, defending himself and proving that he had no space.

On the other hand, Junior had a completely different take on the matter as he responded with a hilarious meme.

However, what do you think? Was Suarez at fault? Or did Blaney get caught up due to his older tires? Because the #12 sure thinks it’s not the tires.

However, he doesn’t blame the Mexican either, as he spoke about it after the race.

“No, it’s a case of just getting wrecked. That’s all people do at the end of these things, just dive in there and (expletive) wreck you,” he said. “I don’t know who shoved who and I don’t care, but tires didn’t matter at the end.”

“We restarted top three both times and tires don’t really matter. It’s just a matter of getting through on the restart, but, apparently, that’s a hard thing to ask. People just run over each other.”

So, who is at fault?
