Like instead of just allowing Mr Truex to rumble down pitroad, put him for new tyres & fuel and call it a strategy play.
And Mr Bowyer didnt have to spin and risk himself & the car, he could have just turned it off and stopped dead on the track. They could have discussed it before hand and made sure that radio chat all night had the pilot complaining about the engine or ECU or similar...
All this stuff MUST happen in other teams, its only the poor leadership at MWR that seems to have allowed it to land in the public arena.
Same as the Penske/Front Row discussions... could have been handled internally much cleaner... as a fellow Ford team, they could have had the discussion pre race, and the driver genuinely gets passed by the #22 car...
This stuff isnt rocket surgery, nor is it new, but MWR and Penske are being made out to be the worst people in NASCAR...
