Maybe it's still premature to say this, but I do miss the Open. And the point of this format was so all fans could see their favorite drivers all day, except three of many people's favorite drivers got wrecked on Lap 2.
Criticizing Allgaier for this is so weird to me.
If you're a lapped car and the situation calls for you to get out of the way it's your responsibility to be predictable in what line you're running so that the leader can pass you without issue.
Allgaier got put in a spot where he had to take the low line which was a death sentence for his chance to win the race given how much time Corey Day was making up top.
Lothian didn't do anything especially egregious but he did cause a problem for the leader and Allgaier has the right to be upset. Zero problem with how he handled it.
For the first time since Sonoma in 2005, Hendrick Motorsports failed to place a driver inside the top-20 on a road course in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Kyle Larson was the highest finishing of the team's four drivers, in 23rd. Elliott was 24th, Bowman 25th, and Byron 36th.

@BHill1417@DILFBorus They just simply don't care. No other explanation. The have zero consideration for the fact that they very likely will screw someone who's been at the front all day.
@EnteredCaesar@Frankie_4002 I think that's fine. He was able to get off. If not, there was still enough time for them to throw it and the spotters could tell the drivers where to go.
One MAJOR gripe about the broadcast today.....
Stop showing the speed and Manufacturers in the pylon. We want to know the gap. That's it. I'm in the middle of trying to do mental math and I'm reminded for the 40th time that Chase Elliott still drives a Chevy at 169.420 MPH
