Watch the 2nd turn replay:

Stewart turns down (as usual) which forces Tomac to slow and turn down. Meanwhile, Anderson is actually holding his line way on the inside but Stewart and Tomac cut in front of him.

When you watch, notice Cooper's turn. Then look at Malcolm's turn. It doesn't make sense why he would turn down.

Anderson needs to stop fucking with people. Mookie needs to stop fucking with people. Weak minded shit catches up.
If I am hiring riders, I don't look for weak minded shit as an attribute. Sure is fun to watch on someone else's dime though!!!

I guess if you ride aggressive with everyone all year, it's only a matter of time before someone gives it back, whether you think it's deserved or not, only thing that matters is that Malcolm thought it did in that moment.

Andersons rides a fine line, his aggressiveness has no doubt earnt him some extra points this year but it has also lost him a chunk as well.

The thing is, you don't see Webb and Tomac in their battles with Anderson (or other aggressive riders) putting themselves in a position to be put down, they'll stand it up early/ cut back or leave the room. You can't fight for your position laying on the ground and apart from the speed they obviously have, situational awareness is a big part of why these guys are near the top year after year.

Malcom’s fault again this week. How many times is he going to ruin races this year by turning down on people that have already passed him…? I’m sorry but rubbing is racing. Ando has had a few passes in question that were maybe too aggressive, but this one and last week definitely were not.

I doubt Malcom took out Anderson just cause of that one corner, thinking it was due to a a few previous incidents. Seems the riders police themselves if the AMA does not. Which is fine by me. Does it really matter who wins the championship, as long as there is good racing and drama for the fans. Was there last night and the heats and mains had both. It was a fun nite being entertained,

When was the last time Anderson got through a full night of racing without using someone, or several other riders as a berm?

Malcolm’s emotions run deep, which can be a good thing in this world, but they have to be tamed and harnessed, lest they become his worst enemy.

I think in Stewart’s defense, he thought that Anderson was going to be on the track so he T-boned him.

Any chance Ricky created this whole scenario to add some drama to the broadcast? Jason's move was aggressive, but not over the top. Maybe Stewart inadvertently overshot the turn and hit Anderson. The next pass on Anderson could have been aggressive but wasn't. Then when Stewart fell again, obviously he didn't know Anderson was going to get collected in it. Have we heard Stewart's account of what happened, or are we just going to take Ricky's assumptions as facts?

Hell yeah Malcolm!! Love it when these guys stand up to the ones who continually ride like idiots. Bogle and Malcolm have my respect as much as ever. Anderson got what he had coming. Don’t want to get ran into, stop trying to ruin peoples races. Quite simple.

I’m pretty sure Malcolm was pissed irrespective of any commentary. He trucked him getting back to their bikes and flipped him off after the heat… and we’ve seen Mookie get into with Barcia so it’s not surprising really.

I had to rewatch the 2nd turn a couple of times to catch Andersen’s move. Even if Mookie wasn’t there Ando would have gone after Tomac in that turn. Mookie may have turned down but Jason was coming in for the block pass or ram on someone.
I also believe that in the sand turn if the roles were reversed Ando would definitely have gone for the pass too. He’s not waiting around, though he probably should.

Don't think Malcom took out Anderson at all. I think Ricky was playing it up. Their lines just came together. I am guessing Malcom didn't really see Ando until it was too late. Anderson came off the berm to the inside, Malcom comes out of the rut to the outside. Malcom is not an idiot and either is Ando. They have been coming together a lot, have different ideas on line selection and need to be careful bonzai-ing around the track going inside/outside in traffic trying to get to the front. Some patience would serve both of them well.

Malcom's never been a good heads up rider and then throws a tissy when he messes up. He's been this way since 250's

If Anderson didn’t screw up and miss the entry to the sand turn where Malcom hit him, we would probably be talking about how he passed both those guys same time in the second corner and ran off.

Love the footage in that video.... Mookie making Team Fried his bitch on several occasions....


Not good for Mooks points run...... but Anderson has it coming on multiple fronts.

I appreciate Mookies "no quarter given" approach here...it makes for some exciting races.

Aside from 21 accelerating off track, I don't see how people are so upset with his "bs". Yea he hasn't made things easy on himself this season, but as far as last night, all he did was bump Tomac a little in the 2nd corner of the race. If that's what you consider an asshat move, then there's just no conversation left to be had. Mookie on the other hand did ride like a complete asshat last night. He gained a huge advantage by pinning it off track past half a rhythm section and passing 2 riders in the process only then to throw it away with a dumbass take out move. His sole motivation to make that move was revenge because he had no shot at blocking or passing Anderson there. What makes it even worse is that he looked to be one of the fastest riders on the track and instantly eliminated his best and maybe only chance at getting a 450 sx win.

Yep.
I laughed my ass off last night watching that clown throw away a damn good chance at a Daytona victory.

Even though he's tried to hide it behind his new tactic of cutting down on riders mid turn.

For years Anderson has let everyone know he's the guy that makes contact. Ask Cole Seeley about it.

When there's a questionable call, he's not getting the benefit of the doubt from Malcolm.

Anderson can't blame anybody else for his own reputation.

The difference between Bogle and Malcolm? Bogle has nothing to lose, look at his results and speed this year. Not that this warrants retaliation, but it's a completely different scenario between these two riders going for revenge. Malcolm set pole position and had the speed to win Daytona.

The difference between Tomac and Malcolm? They both got bumped in the first corner by Anderson. Malcolm lost his temper, went for revenge, and threw away a great opportunity to win his first race. He lost valuable points, championship standings, and money. Meanwhile, Tomac, like a true race winner and champion, kept his composure, did not go for revenge, and went on to battle for his 6th Daytona win. Gained points, won big money, and strengthened his championship position.

Also the fact that Bogle did nothing wrong prior to getting slammed by Barcia (that was also a way more egregious move than what Anderson has pulled on Stewart), whereas Malcolm continues to turn down and refuses to check up when he's being passed and then acts like a toddler with anger management issues when he goes down

Anderson's move was pretty aggressive but certainly within the realms of acceptable racing. Near the line, but not over it.

Stewart simply saw red, lost his temper and threw a tantrum, his one and only intention at that point was getting revenge. All thoughts of the race, his team etc. were shelved to settle a score. Not too clever.

Tomac played it smart. Remained calm and collected the points and the money.
