Just five laps into the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Atlanta, Corey Day triggered a massive wreck, leaving multiple cars damaged. The #17 driver tried to fit his nose into an opening, move up, and ended up triggering the wreck, all while battling for 10th.
The trigger not only took Day out of the race but also jeopardized Ryan Sieg, Kyle Sieg, Harrison Burton, and Blaine Perkins’ day. As a result of the wreck, multiple drivers shared their frustrations on Day.
Sieg, who was also contesting for the place, hit out at Rick Hendrick’s prodigy.
“Every f***ing week he’s an idiot. I don’t know why he’s in that car,” Sieg said. “He definitely needs to learn like you know, I mean a lot of a lot of them do. Just you gotta finish the race before you don’t, I mean you must finish before you can. I mean have a chance to win it. So they gotta learn that and unfortunately, we’re part of a frustrating situation.”
Austin Hill, the winner of the United Rentals 300 at the Daytona International Speedway last week, also shared his thoughts. He told his crew chief on the radio, “I saw that coming from a mile away. The 17 doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
