He’s 1,000% right when he said the level of respect has gone down in the lower series. Last night was a clownshow. It wasn’t racing.
YAAAAA!!!!
It should all be like the cup series,
BORING A.F. !!!!!
Where nascar is constantly making rules changes, and car tweaks he’ll even format and track changes, to try to get them to race!!!
that`s Nascar today, let`s go back when Nascar was for the drivers and the fans.@@johngrabowski2957

@@johngrabowski2957 sooo.... you want the sport to turn into a literal steaming pile of shit...?
FACTS
..NO RESPECT PERIOD
Twenty laps to go it turned into a Iracing B group race. The teams, sponsors, fans, we all deserve better racing from that level and beyond.
Oh I think ur giving them too much credit. Iracing B group would have been an improvement. That was a complete cluster fuck.
Clusterfloof is right. RESPECT the equipment, your car owner, your sponsors, your fans. Hone your track craft and respect those who came before you, who suffered injuries and crashes to make the design/car safer to drive.
Truex is the man -- nothing is as honest as a guy in his final years of a career.
Money rules. You just a kid with a rich daddy or grand daddy, you get the ride. I know plenty of drivers up here in the northeast who have diddly for money but could outrace these kids with money in their equipment and on their tracks any day of the week. When you have to pay for your own stuff, for the most part, you tend to be a little more respectful with it.
Prefect analogy from a respected veteran of this sport
Martin Truex Jr. makes a VERY good point. Many of these young drivers never had to work to earn money to pay for a race car or pay to have it fixed or even worked on it themselves. I drove commercial for forty years driving vehicles owned by other people. Drive those trucks and care for them like you have to pay to have them fixed.
Maybe Deegan was right, no respect out there in Trucks
She should know. We saw with the Danica experiment, the boys just dump her. Waiting to see how Hailie can run with some decent equipment
LOVE MTJ; he's a GENUINE, Good person who speaks the TRUTH!
Sooooo, a year removed from what his teammate Ty Gibbs did in Martinsville and still no comment on that? Plus not to mention the very thing Truex is condemning other drivers about not paying their dues yet the same thing has happened in his house
Everyone knows Ty is a piece of shit. Grandpas money. So wait, truex didn’t pay his dues? How long did it take him to actually get a good seat? That’s what I thought.
Ummm...Its not his house. its Joe Gibbs house. Ty Gibbs is Joe Gibbs grandson. Joe Gibbs is Truex'
s employer...you figure it out.
Martin is one hell of a gentlemen on and off the track!
Truex is pretty much the last gentleman in the sport when hes gone
More veterans need to speak up about the embarrassing level of racing with these kids who drive like they are in a video game, with zero respect for their competitors.
MARTIN NAILED IT
That was my thought, that it was for the camera he knew was in his truck. I will also say that Heim would’ve won had he not taken himself out. Those cautions were where Heim excelled.
Send Kyle Busch back to teach the kids again.
Heims truck was garbage after Hocevar took him out. He knew he wasn't gonna win the title and waited to take Hocevar out. Hocevar got what he deserved and he better get smart or it's gonna be a long season for him
@@tomvernia8499he got from 25 to 7
@@Greg1_c ''' Heim said he knew he wasn't gonna beat Rhodes or Enfinger.
There wouldn’t have been any more cautions if Heim didn’t take out Hocevar
Looks to me Kyle Busch sold his truck team at the right time!
This winner takes all format is going to always produce this kind of racing. Especially with young guys trying to make a name for themselves to move up. Not everyone can get moved up to Xfinity with sub par results
Hailie deegan moved up all because of her followers nascar is not about talent anymore
Your 💯 right NASCAR has created this crap..!
@@wheezy6969 And she will do better in xfinity because she doesn't have to worry about getting crashed as much.
You know it’s bad when the cup drivers are dissing on the truck drivers.
I think they're doing so because Hocevar is known for being a dangerous driver and he's going to cup level next year. And the fact that he's already brought his driving style to the few cup races he's been in and shown that he's not changing. They're not going to put up with his bs come next year or he'll be wrecked out every race
Truex not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.
He also caulks the caulk and he buys in bulk and hulks like Hulk.
1000 percent agree. That truck race was terrible
100% right. Carson was just performing an "act" to make people feel sorry for him.
If you've got Martin Truex talking down about you, you f-d up.
NASCAR loves it though, they love the "sports entertainment" crowd...WWE on Wheels.
Yep. WWE on wheels is an accurate assessment
So Hallie Deegan has been right all along .
Just Happy that Zane Smith #38 will be raising Cup Series for TrackHouse in 2024
The format "winner takes all" is a big part of it, but money backing been a pre requisite of having a truck/xfinity seat add 2 things, a considerable amount of less talented drivers and an even greater dose of I don't give a shit of what happens to my ride or others'
There is a total lack of respect there. MTJ, you nailed it. Not all of lower ranks, but how will they start to respond to the "brats " amongst them?. Racing is becoming a crazy free for all where winner takes all. More drivers should be made accountable. Maybe you should stay on to oversee issues, IF you stop driving, which we pray you don't bail out for a much longer time.😢❣
Hocevar, Gibbs, Nemecheck and Sanchez are just a few of the guys he’s talking about.
Ty hasn't had an incident since Martinsville last year do you even pay attention
@@FoxdidnothingwrongHe ran over McDowell in the All-Star race.
@@FoxdidnothingwrongYes he has. Do YOU pay attention?? And having a relatively clean year doesn’t forgive his previous f’k ups.
Martin saw the "Acting" JUST AS I SAW IT!! SO GLAD someone in the spotlight spoke up on this!! NO respect for KO AT ALL for his B.S. reaction after spinning him. WHATA PUNK!!!
The funniest part is that Phoenix was the most interesting truck race I’ve seen in forever. Martinsville was the most interesting Xfinity race.
Drivers want everybody race with table manners. Fans want to see people blow up. Crazy shit.
I agree 1000% and when Hocevar got wrecked , him saying “that’s fair” proved Martins comments.
“That’s fair” disproves Martins comments lmao. If he were to get mad it would make sense but he genuinely felt sorry and accepted the retaliation even though he still had a legit shot if a cation came out. I thought it was an act at first but the way he carried himself after that wreck and the way he drove after the first wreck shows the complete opposite.
No it doesn’t. Carson knew he had it coming and accepted it. Pretty easy
Heim’s retaliation to Hocevar was far from fair. Not only did he purposely take out Hocevar (and never admitted it), he also took out Taylor Gray and probably cost Grant Enfinger the win and championship.
Hailie deegan kicks ass in srx, yet half of her bad finishes in truck races were people running her over in the first season. Everyone was like nah she just sucks. Funny how after she started fighting back at those morons she started finishing top 15 a helluva lot more. Theres been warnings over how bad trucks have gotten, and its time nascar steps in, and time more experienced drivers show those dumbasses a lesson.
I was listening to her talk at a fan event before the Xfinity race yesterday and she said that exact thing. She loved running in the SRX because there’s just such a higher level of respect with guys like Stewart and Labonte. Then proceeded to say there’s maybe 5 drivers in the truck series that she thinks actually drive with respect.
Same behavior on the regular highways a lot
Wow! His last comment was spot on!
Now, not in the old days, racing is a sport where the guy with the biggest pocket book moves up. Not the guy with the most talent. So this is what you end up with. It’s sad
Completed agree! These young drivers need to pay for and repair their own cars !
He's 100% right about how the level of respect has been non existence in the truck series
The younger generation has lost respect anywhere,anytime. We are in trouble.
I love the honesty about Hocevars reaction.
You are so right Martin, I am sick and tired of their bullshit.
It’s the owners fault. They sign the checks. They have all the control
Deegan has the same thing in the past.
They are definitely video gaming mentality
It's always amazed me how Sr was essentially given a free pass and is still revered because of his "style", yet anyone else is talked crap about for driving like that
Different generation of racing and it also has to do with the level of respect that he had amongst his peers. This issue with drivers now are the ones that are getting called out for their reckless driving are the young inexperienced that most likely haven't worked their way up the ranks but were just handed rides due to funding that they bring.
Because Sr raced for 27 years and rarely just dumped someone. People will say " He crashed people all the time" Then you ask them to name a time thats not Terry at Bristol, Waltrip at Richmond and Bodine a couple times in the late 80s and they usually have nothing. Most of the time when Earnhardt moved someone, they were slower than him. These days, Guys just completely miss the corner and run over cars that are as equally fast or faster.
@@jesuschristislord6790 Preach. This is totally different than Earnhardt driving aggressive or hard. Earnhardt was in two tightly contested championships going into the final race of the season in 1980 and 1990 and he didn't dump the guy he was racing for the championship. He was up 29 points on Cale Yarborough going into the last race of the season in 1980 and he was up 6 points on Mark Martin going to Atlanta for the last race of the season. They raced each other hard and respect all day. Anti-Earnhardt fans want people to believe that he won all of his 76 Cup races and 7 Cup titles by bumping someone out of the way 900% of the time. If anything he was dumped by points leader Rusty Wallace at Rockingham in 1989 that cost him a lot of points not to mention the race before that Rick Rudd dive-bombed him at N. Wilkesboro on the last lap wrecking both and cost him the race and precious points.
@@jesuschristislord6790 Also, people forget that Terry body slammed Dale coming to the white flag at Bristol off turn 4 in 1999 and him and Waltrip were beating and banging on each other way before their late race accident. That incident turned the "Tide" in that rivalry as Earnhardt won 6 titles to Darrell's 0 after that and several more races.
This goes for everyone in the garage in cup and Xfinity too. The format makes you have to pull things like what Hamlin does, or how people turn people to the wall. Or pull a Hail Melon, drivers are willing to risk their body for the approval of sponsors, and the glory of winning a race, let alone a title.
There were only 4 people racing for a title. No excuse for the rest of the field. Let the xfinity series race be a testiment of how to RACE for a championship. Custer did it clean and the race wasn't a circus act like the truck series
Hamlin is a hypocritical piece of shit that will dump anyone anywhere anytime. And the Hail Melon was the greatest move I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been watching for decades. Glad they outlawed it but damn what a show.
If anybody knows, it's Martin. He has been racing for a long time and always raced without being nasty as they can be now.. Have been watching him for a long time. Don't let this bother you.
Talk to your teammate Denny too
Win the cup dude,youve done it before,and and im sure it be a hell of a race too👍😃
😊🎉😊 I'd love to see it this year but he's gonna need Cole Pearn back in order to trust his crew chief and pit crew again. How many races could he have won had he gotten a group who performed better than just average? Love our guy, but here's to a better 2024!
loved his comment at the end!! yup!!
Not too awful long ago the Xfinity and truck series had a fair amount of older which also meant old school racers that taught everyone coming up how to race. Now that is gone and it's just become a stepping stool only to get to cup.
A lot of the drivers are like Daddy I want to race buy me a truck and they all came from the participation trophy era
That's one reason why the truck guys a lot of them never graduate upwards
And yet it's Carson who is moving to the Cup series next year NOT punk Corey. Carson did nothing wrong.
LETS GO MTJ 🔥🔥🔥🍻🍻🍻
When a driver purposely takes out a competitor, that driver should have to pay for the repairs of the damaged race truck or race car. JMO
I've said the same thing. I bet they'd learn to respect their peers on the track real quick.
Maybe more cup drivers need to be allowed to be in these lower tier races
Like Hime did?
Martin is a great race car driver
Time for a drivers to get out of the car and "kick a__". I remember the old Darrell Waltrip interview where he was scared to death of Dale Inman and Maurice Petty after getting into Richard Petty. Make them think differently about getting into another car.
Amen to everything Martin just said everyone of these kids just get into a car and go race and anything goes. No one ever pays the price one of these days somebody’s gonna get their ass kicked for that.
Eh, I watched all the top drivers in the cup series dump each other all year.
Well there going to get cleaned again tonight in Xfinity 😂
these are children racing these cars now and most never got dirty working this is why i’m slowly moving on martin /kyle even denny /brad/ joey to an extent are the last of the great days of nascar
It is called Laughcar for a valid reason.
i thought the same thing about the Truck drivers. Looked like a bunch of street stock class 13 year olds.
Spot on….
My new catch phrase…
“Carry ya ass back to Demo Derby”
I thought it was an act too
Last nights racing was worse than a Iracing open lobby
I don’t think Hocevar was acting out based on his poor performance after the incident, seemed like his head just wasn’t in it. That being said, I’d be concerned if I were Spire in wondering whether their newest driver has the discipline and mental fortitude to compete in the Cup series or not.
Because Spire has such a great history with LaJoi ?
@@timwalgren8100No, and you’re right. Spire needs to make better decisions all around.
MTJ calling it like it is. You never question where he stands.
Yup, never question, just side with the Gibbs guy.
@@car83_ I didn’t say he was right, never mentioned the team. Just said he speaks his mind. Sorry your team lost….
It's for kids now, Trucks, NASCAR and Xfinity, mostly kids keep up with it now.
wonder if he notices his teammate denny is just as bad
I think at this point the Truck Series should hook up the trailers and do a figure 8. At least it would get more then the dozens of people that watch now.
They could also put a jump on the back stretch and if you make it you get extra bonus points!
That's why every employee ever f**** things up because they don't have to pay for anything!
Not a huge Truex fan but he is absolutely right on his assessment, NASCAR is turning into a bunch of rich kids with no hint of respect.
Martin is a true heads-up driver, who worked with his Father to learn the sport. Watch Andy J in arca that's how he grew up on the Modifieds. Delivering pizza for a living, and still does
I totally agreed with Truex's comments on Hocevar's crashing move on Heim but I want somebody to explain why Hamlin gets away with similar tactics trying to win a race he's just got more finesse in the way he does it and because of his experience he knows exactly the result he'll get when he does only to then hear him say I didn't mean it I call BULLSHIT
I don’t like intentionally wrecking someone but I don’t see the difference in what Hamlin does and what they done last weekend.
Hocervar should have been put a lap down for that. He did it on purpose and then "acted" like he didn't mean to on camera, he actually over "acted"!
The cup guys are the example though
Example or the standard the lower series drivers should aspire to?
I meant they are a bad example@@sm040480
No Martin is saying Daddy’s money and daddy’s friends like businesses to put on the side of the car got them everything. Talent in nascar not has happened since the early 2000s like 2000-2006 great for new talent
I would have never thought Carson would do something like that. It is really to bad.
I thought he was better than to do a Hamlin to him.. Carson drove like a Gibbs driver...
I honestly don’t know how or why Matt Crafton puts up with this series anymore. This guy raced with clas acts like Bobby Hamilton, Johnny Benson and Ron Hornaday.
Now he’s got to put up with these children, that haven’t even hit puberty yet, playing with millions of dollars of equipment like they’re amusement park bumper cars, and getting bailed out by all their sponsors, which who the hell knows why they even sponsor them at this point?
Surely, Matt has some money in the bank to hang up the fire suit and do something more tolerable with his time. Look at all the beef he’s had just in the past 2-3 seasons.
Yep it was all an act because the camera was on in his car.
watch out for Jesse Love
Maybe he tell Hamlin this.
When I comment that alot of these drivers drive like entitled rich kids people cry. But now yall agree that Martin says it😅
We need a NASCAR SENIORS LEAGUE starting off with Martin TRUEX and Kyle BUSCH
What happened in the Xfinity race last week and what happened at Phoenix last night in the truck race is a result of having children trying to do a man's job.................................
Glad to be seeing you leave. There's no crying in Nascar. Please take Hamlin with you.
These children daddy’s can afford to pay for the bumper cars and bumper trucks at the bumper tracks now. The rides are pretty safe. So WHY NOT DRIVE THEM LIKE BUMPER CARS AND BUMPER TRUCKS?😊
Truth!! Kids that never had to pay for anything or fix anything!!
The owners should take that money for the wrecked trucks and take it out their contract money, not if they were caught up in a crash but if they were the cause and then crashed. The fact they even let some of these idiots still race is beyond me. Its a joke. The announcers for the truck races suck too.
Martin Truex Is 100% Right. Some Of These Young Kids Come Up Born With A Silver Spoon In Their Mouths And Are Backed With Lots Of Money. They Think That When They Go Out On The Track, They Can Do Whatever They Want And Race However They Want. I Call These Drivers “Hammerheads”!! So You Boys…Race However The He’ll You Want Because If Or When You Move Up With The Real , Professional Men Of NASCAR, You Will Learn How To Respect These Drivers. They Will Not Take Any Of Your Bullshit, And Trust Me When I Say This… They Will Put You In Your Place And You Will Learn How To Respect Them!!!!!
Knew it was an act too. Wayyyy to dramatic
I agree with his assessment of Hocevar's reaction being an act. They know there are cameras in the car just like reality TV stars change the way they behave because cameras are on them. It wasn't an honest reaction. It was an act so over the top that you cannot believe it was a real reaction.
Parenting he's right on time . If I raced like that my Dad would Have straightened me out, literally.
Boo hoo, just race and leave the drama on the track. it's racing, not hollywood!
Omg that last answer was spot on lol. Crocodile tears.
WRECKEM WHEN YOU CATCHEM that seems to be the attitude anymore especially in the lower ranks . Why not these kids dont have any investment in the cars or trucks they are driving. Its not likely to change anytime soon
The truck series is notorious for no respect. Why do you think deegan is moving up not having accomplished anything in rucks. How many wre KS were from other UNTALENTED spoiled brats
I will take the hate.
Watched since the 90's. I hardly watch the Winston Cuo anymore, way too boring.
The Busch race at Martinsville was great! Loved the Truck race last night.
If you don't want a 1 race shyt show, get rid of the dumb playoffs ending in 1 race.
If you don't understand the series names, please don't watch Nascar, watch F1
There are a lot of fans, myself included, who are calling for the playoffs to be axed, but you do have to come to terms that that won't happen for a while, if at all.
How about we have a race track that you don’t spend 65 percent of the lap off the track
