Last week in Phoenix, Christopher Bell was more than disappointed with the way the previous race had gone.
Dale Earnhardt Jr thinks he went a bit too far. Bell spoke out strongly against the rigging at Martinsville.
Christopher Bell has not been in the NASCAR top four this season. He had previously qualified for the last two finals. However, he fell short this season after being penalized for driving into the wall amid numerous allegations of tampering.
Earnhardt was the first to be arrested for the crime on the Dale Jr. Download to talk about Bell’s comments. The driver of the Joe Gibbs Racing team said the race was rigged, going so far as to say it was fixed.
“Christopher Bell’s Championship 4 comments, a lot of people have been talking about this. He called, I guess talking bout Martinsville he called it, ‘Race manipulation,’ and ‘Race fixing.’ That’s a little strong,” Earnhardt said.
“Saying, ‘It’s one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through as a race car driver.’ Again, I look back to, I will tell him he should probably go watch Martinsville from several years ago when the car he was driving was sort of doing the same thing for Denny at the end of the race. This is nothing new. I get it he’s frustrated and he has every right to say whatever he wants to say but I don’t think, I don’t think there’s anyone [that] is entirely innocent of some ‘manipulation.’”
