How do we know that? Because video shows that. Stewart cornered in the rut immediately below Barcia, not with a rut between. Stewart then exited the corner, occupying nearly the same space Barcia’s left bar grip would have been had he not hesitated. This happened without incident.
Arguing that it was textbook or fair only stands if you ignore that Barcia allowed it, a high speed maneuver in which Stewart could have taken Barcia out, to take place without incident.
This is awesome riding and racing by both racers.
Why would Barcia do that?
Why didn’t Stewart do the same thing?
This is poor riding by Stewart.

When Barcia hit Mookie it was at the end of a corner where Mookie was racing forward and Barcia crossed over two ruts to hit him going backwards.
Had Barcia at least been able to get sideways I’d almost agree with you, but he center punched him with his front wheel.
Obviously AMA thinks you’re wrong too, hence the 10 point penalty.
Stewart chose not to protect himself. Barcia protected himself.
Barcia should fight for all the points the AMA took from him and run -13 on his plates (I think that’s the total he lost this year).
Had Barcia not done that they would have exited together with Stewart having the momentum and taking out Barcia’s left grip as they would have been together on the exit.
Heads up riding by Barcia.

Ace, you might be talking out of your Ace on this one. I don't even believe that you believe what you are saying. Nobody has a hard time calling this incident for what it is except for you. Trying to blame Mookie for this saying he should have checked up, watch the clip amd see how far Barcia jumps into the corner, how could Mookie know that someone would basically jump into the exit?
If you're racing for a plastic trophy, I'd be pissed off also. If I am racing for 100g, I'd expect that crap.
I'm not saying it is right, but it is a contact sport like it or not.
Didn't bogle already clean out Barcia, pulls a tear off, oops, sorry. so he probably lost third place right there
Also... Thats some quality trolling Ace. You got like 4-5 fish with only one cast. You must do this for a living?
Doesn’t make his t-bone move any less awful. But if you’re going to do something stupid, might as well own it.
