Bubba Wallace’s Spotter Freddie Kraft Slams Chase Briscoe For The “Dirty Move” in Bristol
NASCAR Cup Series had been to Bristol last weekend. The Bristol Motor Speedway held the second-ever NASCAR dirt race in its history. With Kyle Busch coming up as the winner, the Food City Dirt Race had one of the most fascinating outcomes in recent times. However, Bubba Wallace’s spotter Freddie Kraft didn’t quite like the way Chase approached the race in the end.
Talking about Briscoe’s run, Kraft conveyed, “Yeah, listen. I’m with you, it’s hard to follow Chase because he was on the edge on the last 10-12 laps, and he came from over straightaway back to run him (Tyler Reddick) down, now get you there on the last lap. It’s hard to say that you shouldn’t go for it after you’ve worked this hard to run the guy down but at the end of the day it’s a dirty move.”

“You’re throwing it in there really with a very very little chance of a positive outcome for somebody. You know you’re not gonna clear him, so your chances are you’re either gonna door slam him off the race track and win the race or kind of what happened when you slided in backwards and take the two of you out.”, the spotter further stated.
What insisted Freddie make those Chase Briscoe comments?
To many people’s astonishment, Kyle Busch came out as the clear winner amidst Chase Briscoe and Tyler Reddick. The duo was fighting it all out before they both went out of the contention and that was when Kyle picked up his 60th Cup Series victory.
