Go Big Or Go Home: Josh Williams Achieves Legendary Status In Atlanta

What’s Happening?

In a down-right crazy turn of events, driver of the No. 92 Camaro, Josh Williams, parked at the start/finish line, got out of his car, and left the racetrack.

This defiant course of action came after NASCAR told Williams to come to the garage after a piece came off of his damaged Camaro and caused yet another caution in a caution-riddled race.

You Need To Know:

• NASCAR telling Josh Williams to part his No. 92 Chevy was due to him causing a debris caution. In response, Williams pulled his car to a complete stop at the start-finish line, got out, and exited the track.
• In response to Williams’ behavior at Atlanta, NASCAR ordered the driver, owner, and crew chief to the NASCAR hauler in the infield. It is without question that there will be a much harsher penalty for this defiant action as Williams not only got out of his vehicle while still on the racing surface with no safety crews around also left the car there. No doubt Williams violated several safety rules with his actions today.
• While NASCAR may have a lot of things to say to Josh Williams about his actions today and his entire team, the fans online can’t get enough of it, many of them considering him now a legend. Fans were already irritated by the number of cautions in the race. Josh Williams sticking it to NASCAR like this seems to have won them over.
