I need a replay. On Hill's first pass of McElrath, things got a little messy with a lapper. I think Hill checked up to let McElrath re-pass into the the turn before the 270, like he didn't want to take the lead that way.

Don't know but looked like the one track worker was cheering Hill on?

looks like Hill was expecting an aggressive pass and decided to submit the turn and pass him later...

Bullshit. Start racing then tell us how stupid that statement sounds.

Start living like you're not an asshole and then tell us it's plausible.

What a douche.

I thought the same thing Kburgie when I saw it. Like he wanted to pass him straight up instead of letting a lapper be the issue.

.....and I race, and have done that before. Ive also stopped on the track during a race to protect a downed rider. Might try it sometime BobbyM. Might no be suck a prick.

You want a medal? Racers don't think like that.

How dare you question the great Bobbym . He raced when men were men and the sheep were scared.

You can clearly see Hill look to his right half way down the straight to see McElrath up the inside so he checked up to not get block passed.

So tell me that RC didn't let MC back by @ A1 back in something like 2001?

I think he was expecting McElrath to take him wide in the bowl turn so he braked early and was gonna cut down but the lapper was there

I heard hill say in a pod cast recently those two are good buddies, hence the sportsman ship once they crossed the finish and hill gave him praise. I wouldn't doubt if Hill slowed up slightly to make it a honorable win and give both guys a fair race without lap traffic interference.
