Participants express dissatisfaction in the race at the end of Martinsville XFinity meeting

Martinsville, VA. – Competitors and former drivers have criticized how managers rushed in Saturday’s Nascar XFinity Series event in Martinsville Speedway.

Austin Hill went from fifth to the first on the last corner when the leaders destroyed to claim the overtime victory in a race that caused 40% of the rounds to run under caution and drove several cars at the end of the wheels.

Austin Hill also claims the $ 100,000 Dash 4 -CONTANTBONUS on Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.

Sammy Smith, in turn, sent the back of Taylor Gray’s car 3 of the final round in the track and a multi-car accident that could let Hill slide on the inside to win.

Smith and Gray had to stop after the race outside the Infield Care Center.

“He has no respect for me,” said Smith of Gray. “We chased hard and had problems in the past. He would have done the same. He would have moved me if I headed. This is what you have to do. If you do not, you will be the one to be overwhelmed.

“I know everyone is going to be angry and upset to me and say that I’m a dirty driver, but I don’t care because everyone does. If I would just accept it and finish second place, it wouldn’t go well with me. ‘

Cup manager Denny Hamlin criticized the races and called on Nascar to enter the race. Hamlin wrote on social media that “Martinsville is a cut that can use a (sic)” avoidable contact “penalty. He also wrote on social media:” God, I wish I was in the (TV) booth. ID (sic) is fired, but I will surely call out these idiots. “

Former manager Jeff Burton wrote on social media during the race: “Some of these guys had to have the experience of chasing Jack Ingram and Tommy Ellis.”

Those who participated were not happy either.

“I think at the end of the day when it was controlled a green-white during a Martinsville race, the respect and things are out the window and I hate to say it,” Hill said. “I really do it. I’m probably not the best to talk about it, but I wish there was a way we could do it a little more to where it didn’t just beat and knock and beat and beat each other through people. I wish we could run on Martinsville in a different way than we do. ‘

Justin Allgaier, who finished third, was also not happy with the races at the end.

“I feel like the bumper was one thing all day, but just to ruin people completely, (Gray) tried to ruin (Smith) and he did it back to what (Gray) did to him,” Allgaier said. “They’re both going to be upset. I am upset because we lost the Dash 4 cash and we lost a chance to win the race. “

Others were also critical of the races and expressed it on social media:
