I heard on SiriusXM that Jack Roush denied team drafting orders for the NASCAR Talladega last weekend. And if you’re a general auto racing fan, you know that in Formula One racing, team orders are common.
I’m disappointed that Roush is denying the Roush Yates Motors clan order.
There are basically just a few huge teams that make up most of the top tier of NASCAR and I would be totally shocked if there wasn’t something afoot. Come on, back at Richmond when Menard missed his alleged coded radio cue, things seemed suspect back then.
But when it comes to Plate Racing, I see the need to make plans but the racing in the moment can definitely create new or more opportunistic moments.
Bayne even noted earlier this week that depsite his helping other manufacturer drivers, if he’d been given the word, he would have backed another Ford.
And despite Roush’s denial, Jeff Gordon pretty much confirmed in a different media report that everyone knew Ford was going to back Ford.
