Joey Gase was extremely upset with Dawson Cram after the collision during the Xfinity race in Richmond. Gase had a tumultuous race, with his involvement ending in the first stage after being destroyed by his former close associate. The driver of the Chevy No:35 was furious about the incident and wasted no time seeking revenge.
Gase forcefully ripped off the damaged bumper plate from his Camaro, which suffered significant damage after contact with the wall. He then waited on the track until Cram completed a lap and, when Cram returned to the area where the incident occurred, Gase threw the panel at his rival’s car.
Joey Gase is no stranger to dramatic moments like this in NASCAR, as he often finds himself in similar situations. What made this incident particularly amusing was Gase’s choice to throw the panel, as drivers usually retaliate by throwing their racing helmets.
In the end, it is understandable that Gase was frustrated in that moment. As an owner-driver, he has worked hard to put together his own car, and the accident adds another layer of disappointment. However, fans on social media are not entirely sympathetic to Gase due to his tumultuous past.
Fans on social media had mixed reactions to the incident. Some supported the owner-driver and argued that he should not have suffered such a fate. These fans also criticized Cram for destroying someone like Gase, who played a role in his career development.
On the other hand, some fans were very critical of Joey Gase and believed that his retaliation was just a move to gain attention. Some even suggested that it was a tactic to get more exposure for his sponsors. However, Gase’s strong criticism of Cram after the race contradicts these claims.
Race against crime… committing a robbery.
Does this deserve protest?
The same reaction I get from my daughter when I give her the blue Rapunzel cup instead of the pink Cinderella cup.
The art of revenge.
A significant fine and suspension may be imminent.
Setting aside online trolls, Gase could face a severe penalty from NASCAR. The incident was a serious safety violation and deserves a penalty, as it put both Gase and other drivers in a risky situation.
