Last weekend’s playoff race at Texas Motor Speedway drew plenty of criticism over the tires and officiating. So much so that Kevin Harvick voiced his frustration on social media Monday about an incident that did not involve him, saying there should be a system in place similar to Formula One.
Martin Truex Jr. crashed late in the race, and as Denny Hamlin started to slow down, William Byron hit him in the rear, admitting after the race that it was intentional. The Hendrick Motorsports driver felt Hamlin forced him into the wall on Turn 2 as they exited side-by-side.
