Austin Dillon Crashes His Way To Victory At Richmond

What started as an excellent night for Goodyear, NASCAR, and all the Richmond, Virginia fans ended up in a demolition derby. Brake Hard is here to break down this week’s race at Richmond.

• In the final lap of this week’s Richmond race, Austin Dillon blew through the corner to spin out Joey Logano, and then, on his way back down the track, he right hooks Denny Hamlin into the wall. Do you think he should be penalized for this?
• Austin Dillon has a history of championships and victories, but this year has undoubtedly been the worst one of his entire career. Do you think it would’ve been the biggest upset in NASCAR history if he had won this race cleanly?
• This was the first regular-season race in the NASCAR Cup Series to experiment with an option tire. This tire gave us a different strategy and an opportunity for the next-gen cars to make passes on a short track. What track would you like to see these option tires used next?

Do you think this race makes NASCAR look bad compared to other motorsports? Do you think NASCAR will make any changes to ensure races don’t end like this in the future? Let Brake Hard know all of your thoughts and questions in the comment section.
