Since last weekend’s chaotic race at the Circuit of The Americas, there has been a massive debate raging. It pertains to driver etiquette on race tracks, particularly on road courses. In light of this, former NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace offered his two cents on the situation.
“I remember Joey Logano saying, ‘Listen, I am two-faced.’ I get that, okay? But can you imagine every driver lined up in the NASCAR Series and went to Joey Logano and said, ‘Man! You showed no respect. You’re a dirty driver.’ That hurts. But that’s the only way this is going to end.”
“I’m going to tell you, that’s what Ernie Irvan had to do at Talladega in the drivers’ meeting. Ernie Irvan wrecked so many people, the whole garage area was talking bad about Ernie. Ernie Irvan stood up in front of everybody at the garage at Talladega and said, ‘I want to apologize to all the drivers. I’ve been driving like an idiot.’ All the drivers forgave him and then everybody loved Ernie.”
Kyle Busch was one of the biggest dissenters against the ultra-aggressive style of racing. Also backing him was Hendrick Motorsports’ replacement driver, Jordan Taylor, who had similar complaints. It seems that unless a collective effort is made by all parties involved, the issue will not get resolved.
