If he just slowed his pace a little without making it so obvious with the wave...what in his head made him think looking back and waving Eli bye wouldn’t cause some sort of blowback.
I’m all aboard him going wide and letting off a little earlier before his corners to let Eli bye easier because he’s gonna get him anyway. But why make is so obvious hahaha.
Did he really think looking back and waving Eli bye would be a good look? But in the end even when he’s doing the right thing...Joeys gonna Joey.

For those of us who have raced and poured out blood, sweat and tears into winning a plastic plaque or cheap trophy at a local race, think of all you have done or thought when you got on the tail of a competitor for the local race win / top 5, etc. Now, imagine yourself going for an additional $900,000 if you get past this one last guy. :-)
- if you move over like a novice and pretend to make a mistake that’s wrong
- if you wave a guy by, that’s wrong
- if you don’t let the guy by, that’s wrong
- if you help your teammate your a dickhead
- if you don’t help your team mate your a dickhead
Just to be clear I am 100% fine with the move and it’s the ONLY move. For all you idiots claiming Joey should race him to the checkers. Maybe Eli gets him or maybe he doesn’t but what do you think everyone at the team is gonna say after? The team that is in tomacs pocket. “ Ohh hey there’s the guy that pinned it to the checkers for no reason and prevented Eli from winning a million”. Ya that’s gonna be a great year for him while they haze him every week. Not to mention the fan would prob assassinate him in the parking lot.
I hope Eli cuts him some of it. Idk how much he deserves but you gotta give him some. Even if Eli thinks he would have got him anyway, he needs to bite the bullet because savatgy showed he’s a team player, time for Eli to reciprocate.
As far as the wave itself, Joey can say with 100%!fact he Let him by. If he drifted wide or faked a mistake, Eli could say it was accident and not have any motivation to pay him and fans would just say he sucks. The wave gives him leverage. All that said, I don’t think he put that much thought into it. He knew he had to get out of the way and that was the first automatic reaction he had.
Playing devils advocate, idk contract law but could insurance not pay because they can claim race was fixed? That would be a nightmare
Big difference, or supposed to be anyways..

If I were Joey, I would've told any critics "That's right, I let my teammate by. It's my first race on this team and I'm not about to cause tension between the team just to take a win that doesn't benefit me at all, but would greatly benefit my teammate. And you know good and well that you would do the very same in my position."
