Martin Truex Jr. is facing the heat for radio fire

Amidst the engines firing away on the high banks of Talladega, emotions are tense. Every driver is fighting hard for advancing, and not slipping up on the drafting track. Hence, they are engaging in a lot of three-wide racing and fuel-saving measures.

That is what triggered Martin Truex Jr as he yelled over the radio about the situation. Journalist Toby Christie updated on X: “Martin Truex jr. “Worst racing ever,” on the super slow laps being turned to save fuel. #NASCAR”.

This was followed by a volley of fan reactions. Some denounced him outright: “He should just retire. Man does nothing but complain”. Another fan quipped: “Retire bro, been complaining all season”.

Yet some MTJ fans were there to balance out the heat. One person posted a photo of his dog snoozing in front of the screen, taking Martin Truex Jr’s side: “He’s not wrong. Even he’s asleep.”

Another MTJ fan aimed their guns at NASCAR: “Boring af. This is a super speedway. NASCAR needs to act like it”.

Let us see if the boredom persists through the race.
