After that you can't see what else happened. But if you wanna fight someone don't do it on the track. Wait until after in the pit area.
    I dont think Sclenk was even on the throttle when they got tangled up. I seen a video of Thilby talking about it after the race, and he said himself "that move was uncalled for." Going back to last week, we know Brandon and Rusty are on the same terms. What Rusty done wasn't smart by going off the deep end, and that move by Bell was uncalled for. That was just a product of a one laned race track IMO.

    Everybody behind them are lucky they didn't get piled up in that mess.

      Looks to me like Schlenk cut Bell a break. He could've easily ran him over but he didn't. He definitely was out of the throttle and trying to get back under him. Just a racing deal. Rusty just lost his temper, that's the bad part of it.

        Looks like Schlenk and Bell were locked together... a racing deal. Rusty was out of the gas....

        The fight? Well that's something else.

            I agree 100%. Who was that that got into the back of him Spangler?

            I remember years ago Zack Olger taking multiple tumbles off the back stretch on the old 1/2 mile. And landing off the track property in the bean field.

              I have no idea what Bell did wrong. It looks to me like Schlenk botched a crossover and got mad about it.

                Lol. Real tough Rusty, going after a guy strapped into his car.

                He had every opportunity to cross under him and blow by him, Bell had scrubbed off so much speed. And Rusty oughta know Bell is aggressive, and be ready for it. He tried to turn under, but the car looked as if it just wouldn’t turn quite enough. And you ran into him, and got trashed. I really don’t see any blame going to Bell, just Rusty failing to cross over and getting into him and getting junked.

                By no means was either move dirty, Rusty after, well, I’ve stated my opinion on that. I’m glad they penalized him though, good.

                I’m not a particular fan of either one, I know Bell is overly aggressive, and Schlenk, the fans and crlebrating local wins is a touch much. People win at Atomic, Wayne County, Hilltop, Attica, etc, all the time and we don’t celebrate it.
                Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            CnB said it perfectly on the racing incident. After that move of going after another driver strapped in his car all I can say is his new name should be Crusty Rusty the Clown. Most Clowns wear bright colours and with his pink he fits right in.

                              The dude did slide Up and park in front of him lol. I still say “ the rusty Schlenk “ should be some type of scrogg move defined on urban dictionary
