Tempers Flare at end of Bowman Gray Stadium Stock race 1 - 5-6-23

Robert Strmiska used a bit of muscle on a last lap pass for the win against AJ Sanders in the first Stadium Stock race of the night on 5-6-23. Strmiska wins the race and Sanders shows his displeasure.

The 24 allows no room on the inside going into turn 3 when the 90 is clearly there, then tries cutting inside to hit the 90 in turn 4 and nearly wrecks himself. The 90 did absolutely nothing wrong here. A little bump and run. This was a good race

[@chevy358ci]

clearly you have never raced a car in your life dude. its not your position until your at the other guys door post lol the guy spun him to win. never tried the outside even once. shoulda been black flagged lol

[@comicdooder]

@chevy358ci Lol. Weird, I guess I figured if someone's on your inside you might not want to turn down into them. But, you're right, I've never raced, so what do I know. Thanks for the racing tip Dale Earnhardt

[@jamesowens1612]

@@comicdooder he’s right. you have to be alongside to have allowed room. it’s always up to the person passing to do it safely, it’s not up to the person defending to allow room unless they’re alongside, it’s ALWAYS up to the person behind to make the clean pass. that was clearly a dirty dive bomb attempt to get his car alongside, and take the win. it didn’t work for him, so instead he pushed the 24 car around the last turn. Extremely dirty driving from a sore loser. couldn’t make the clean pass so he had to take him out to win. Never can be a fan of guys that race like that. If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of this, you’d understand. it sucks to spend all the time to win a race just to get spun in the last corner because someone’s ego is too big.

[@douglasfoster2215]

Racing and racing strategy is more than just knocking the shit out of each other. Some of these drivers have more money than brains that's for sure.

[@chris8video]

A little perspective - these are short races, 20-50 laps usually - you better knock the guy out of the way of you want to pass. That doesn’t mean wreck them though. And also, there are plenty of BG videos with “normal” racing. The most popular ones are the wild, action packed ones and people who don’t attend think that’s the way it is every lap of every race.

[@douglasfoster2215]

@@chris8video it sure seems as though it's a wreckfest. But I understand your viewpoint.

[@jamesowens1612]

@@douglasfoster2215 it does seem that way because to pass on this track you really have to push people out of the way. it’s a known thing here and it’s known throughout the drivers too. That doesn’t mean you send someone spinning last turn to take the win, that’s sore loser behavior, 90 is an idiot and won’t ever have fans, there’s no draft here and it’s a short race.

Beautiful job by the 90. It’s just what y have to at this single lane circle drag drag! Never touched him till 1 to go!! Perfect

[@EL1TESHARK]

Riding 2nd all race to do that on the last lap is NOT racing. He’ll get his. There’s a reason he qualified 2nd and stayed 2nd… because he wasn’t as fast as the guy he had to run through to win. My mother coulda done that

[@RockJenks]

@@EL1TESHARK 24 would pull that same move 11/10 times.. its just that no one is aloud to do it to him

[@Thirty-OughtSick]

@@EL1TESHARKwhat the fuck else are they supposed to do? Its a 1 lane track! Might as well qualify and call a winner there

[@EL1TESHARK]

@@Thirty-OughtSick thatd honestly be a better idea. no racing ever happens at bowman. people go to watch a fight, and a race breaks out every now and then. all i know is that if i qualified first, lead all race, and got turned on the final lap, i would absolutely be qualifying 2nd next time.

[@jamesowens1612]

you clearly have never raced in your life. just because it’s a small track doesn’t mean you have to spin people and dive bomb to pass. you have to be aggressive yes but that was a very deliberate attempt to hit someone out of the way to take the lead, that’s not how you race, that’s sore loser behavior. just like other guy said, he’s second for a reason, he’s not faster, he wasn’t catching up to 24 in the last lap, he got beat even after a dive bomb so he had to hit him way harder than normal on the last turn. Thank god you are just a fan and won’t ever see a real car, that ideology is what killed so many good drivers.

[@AttRandyReynolds]

One of the problems in recent decades concerning small, relatively flat tracks of 1/2 mile or less is that it is very difficult to pass. Only a car that is considerably faster than another car can make a pass. Slower classes provide the better races, strictly speaking.

[@TheCrash1987]

Pole starter may as well have dropped to 2nd then by your logic. Run behind the leader all race just to run him in the last lap👍 I would never expect any class from anyone at bowmangray, but I certainly expected consequences
