I haven’t watched in a long time but I watched it from 1979 to a year or so after he passed , and I still say he’s the man and he did it when they wasn’t all the same cars and the driver had to be a driver and have talent now it’s less driver talent and more on the crew that builds the cars and motors it’s nothing like before just doesn’t get my blood flowing anymore The 3 should of been retired in my eyes

Yep. Keep running into them until they aren't there any more. Don't intend to wreck them, just rattle their cage. And if the 3 had lifted it would have taken out several cars. And if the 10 hadn't blocked he would have finished top 2 or 3. You throw a block on the on coming train on the last lap you better be ready for a ride. #3 had room and opportunity to go low and attempt a pass, but he didn't. If #10 would've then attempted to block low, I would agree he would've deserved to get dumped.

You don't dump someone by hitting them square in the rear....you dump someone by turning the wheel and hitting them on either side of the bumper not square in the back!
No one hooked anyone and dumped them and won the race. You can’t “hook” someone if you are completely behind them!
BTW.... wonder why any race driver in the race hasn't stepped forward today and said that move by 3 was dirty racing? Hmm

Hmm Lift the back wheels off the track and that will dump them in a second Must of missed all the wrecks from bump drafting Nobody came forward cause Tony quit already Kyle went to his motor home and had a fit and wiped the tears out of his eyes Kurt knows one more screw up he's out No way Harvick is going to say any thing about the 3 he got half his fans from them Brad was already on his way home Rickey could not say much besides he had danica on his mind since he got dumped Logano has a hard time putting words together so he just smiles all day The only one that might of was Gaughan he does not need there money just like Menard his dad has more than enough .

Bump drafting is not dumping! SMH
Again not one single driver has said the 3's move was dirty racing..... plain and simple you can spin it ever how you want.
BTW.... remember the 1979 Daytona 500 finish.... guess that was a Dump also?

The retired drivers in the booth said he bumped him, locked bumpers, then turned left. It is what it is.

OK... what is this "dumping"? Is it illegal?
Sounds like somethin we used to call nerfing...

I've never been much into tattoos. And I don't have anything against them either. I guess if I'd have won the Daytona 500 I'd probably do something about this crazy, too!!! www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2018/02/19/austin-dillon-richard-childress-daytona-500-win-tattoo/352615002/FWIW, I just simply had a great time watching this race. Closest I've ever come to racing anything similar to this style of racing is dirt bike, hare scrambles and go karts. Most of those races, I've been disqualified and/or black flagged! I'm a mean sucka when it comes to that style of racing and I have the broken bones to show for it!! I only know one way..."Go or Blow!" Probably a reason that land speed racing suits me so well! The older I get, the slower the body heals! Even though I was pulling for Chase, it really didn't matter much to me who won. I just wanted to see some good racing and was hoping it would be good for the future of the sport. I loved it and hope it pumps the NASCAR crowd up a bit!!!

You may want to research "dumping " in racing if you believe it is completely legal..... Many a driver have received a penalty for doing so..... just ask Matt kenseth how that worked out for him!!!

Even the 10 car didn't say he was "dumped". I have had good and bad slide jobs thrown on me, I have been nerfed, and I have be roughed up. That's all part of sprint car racing. And I was just plain dumped once. That's not racing and it was taken care of in the pit area.

The problems start when people believe that one driver must be 100% responsible for every wreck, with the other driver totally blameless. It's almost never that way.

What one driver does and gets away with and what another driver get penalized for are often the exact same thing.

I didn't see a yellow flag for that crash and to think all that HARD driving for a purse of $60,000.00.
