What is the dumbest thing YOU'VE ever seen happen while watching NASCAR?

[@LukeBowler17]

Definitely the bubba Wallace Kyle Larson incident,that was so dumb Imo

[@kaderatorr]

They got mad at Tyler reddick for turning around when he was next to the pits at Sonoma. That’s pretty dang dumb

Ricky stenhouse jr wrecking people at Daytona in 2018

[@beastmodevr]

At Sonoma this year when 6 cars spun over the course of 3 laps and there were no cautions

[@spheredhawk67]

Definitely NASCAR's inability to throw the caution at Daytona last August. It was literally raining when they were on the backstretch the lap before. They had so much time to throw the caution but they didn't. And it backfired badly.

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

@windrose5988 It was more down to the stewards making a mess of the rules.

HOW?! Darrell Waltrip is what makes NASCAR fun on TV! Even if you're not a NASCAR fan, his iconic line of "Boogity boogity BOOGITY! Let's go racing!" line is amazing and is often a meme being used in multiple race series be it in GT Racing, TC racing or even F1. It's just that iconic.

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

I've even heard it used during a Mario Kart event

[@PhilipCarroll64]

The dumbest thing I have ever seen happen is when Kevin LePage pulled up in front of the Pack coming off pit road at Talladega.

[@BadWebDiver]

That takes the cake! 🤦‍♀

[@JustGenius2001]

Here's some dumb moments you forgot to mention: 1. Kevin Lepage wrecking almost an entire field of cars just trying to merge on to the track at Talladega back in 2007 2. Kyle Busch wrecking Ron Hornaday out of spite at Texas back in 2011 3. A lot of cars bunching up in one turn almost blocking the way at Chicago last week

[@DirtGBX3]

Kyle Busch wrecking Hornaday wasn't all that dumb in my opinion. People forget that a year or so prior, Ron wrecked Busch and ruined his chances at a title. It was eye for an eye, and Ron had it coming.

the garage door rope hoax had to be one of the dumbest things I ever heard of

[@CoreyC225]

I'd personally argue about NHMS only being wet in turns 1 & 2. I was there and for the final 3 pace laps, it absolutely started coming down relatively steady. Not a heavy rain, but a very consistent rain, everywhere. When they went green, my buddy and I looked at each other in absolute shock, and then were immediately unshocked when no one had any grip at all.

[@CoreyC225]

We were at the start/finish line, for reference.

[@HighSideHustler811]

They definitely downplayed that when watching from home, we all figured that, but not that much, good lord lol….

[@CoreyC225]

@@HighSideHustler811 That same race also gave me a greater appreciation for camera exposure. I was always on the side that Martinsville 2015 was dark, but it definitely didn't seem as bad as they said. When they ended this race, it was like phone illuminate your entire face dark. I couldn't make out the car numbers on the back stretch and its only a mile track. I came online after to fans having watched on TV saying it wasn't that dark and it made me chuckle at myself.

NASCAR’s failure to throw the caution for rain at Texas cost Harvick massively in 2020. Im still surprised he didn’t tail them for it because my interview wouldn’t have been able to be shown on TV

[@ashketchumsdad]

If you recall Hamlin almost wrecked too. The fastest two cars that year should never have been in the situation they were in at Martinsville. We were robbed of, in my opinion, the most fun rivalry of my lifetime. Nothing over cartoony, no unnecessary drama, just two great drivers and great teams, that so happened to be really good at the same tracks. We'll never know how well Harvick, or Hamlin for that matter would have ran, had Harvick been at Phoenix. (I firmly believe Hamlin would have had a much better car that day if Harvick was in the final 4, because those two teams pushed each other to greatness). Apologies for the long winded response, but that bs by nascar is the most underrated screwjob of all time

Andretti still needs a driver, so does The Wood Brothers, Meyer Shanks Racing seems to have their driver, Kaulig may have a seat open, and I've heard that maybe Austin Dillon is retiring, and Tyler Reddick may be looking for a way out of 23XI, as he's not run the way he has been promised."😊

RE Announcing. I announce local motocross races, and I can tell you for a fact it is very hard to balance calling the race, covering for downtime (cautions in NASCAR, injuries in motocross), injecting humor, AND keeping energy up for the fans. (The energy part is even harder when you also compete in a race or two the same day like I do.) So it is easy for announcers to get tongue tied, mess up names, or say random stuff in the heat of the moment. And working the same tracks every season as I do, it is also hard to come up with new on mic material. But it still is a lot of fun!
