Bubba Wallace Points to Driver Responsible for Massive NASCAR Crash at Talladega

MotorBiscuit reported their reactions after the big one, beginning with Ryan Blaney, who called for changes to the car. He said:

“I don’t know. I’m not sure. I mean obviously I’d like a change to the racecar. I think we can be better at these speedways, just how the car races and just try to be not as all on top of each other and just running through each other and stuff like that.

“I mean I’ve obviously got my hand up wanting to make a change. Because you said it perfectly, we’re either fuel saving or we’re running all over each other, just because that’s what this car is and that’s how you go forward. You’re running through and it’s however hard you can push somebody. The cars are pretty unstable in the back, they kind of get tank swapping or they get ping-ponging and they just can’t take it.”

Despite the drawback, Blaney said he didn’t expect changes to occur on the Next-Gen car this year. He added:

“I don’t really see it changing this year at all. I don’t think you can during the middle of the year. I mean you could, but I feel like hopefully that speed weeks deal in January, we can try a lot of stuff out.”

Joey Logano spoke along similar lines, explaining that the Next-Gen car has stability issues. He said:

“Just we got round bumpers and unstable cars and cars that you’re able to pop the bubble real easy and get to each other’s bumpers, but when you get there you’ve got to be careful because they’re not stable. It’s like pushing two basketballs against each other, it’s not going to push straight. They’re not two bricks.”
