‘COMMENTARY: Stop Whining about Respect and Focus on Racing’ is an opinion piece by writer Mike Orzel and may not reflect that of Fan4Racing.
A common complaint lately is about drivers not showing ‘respect’ on the track. This trend was on full display this weekend at Martinsville and hit the high-water mark for what is becoming a far-too-common theme in post-race (or post-crash) interviews.

He then went to Tommy Baldwin Racing for the 2015 season. Bowman’s big break came in 2016 when Hendrick Motorsports needed a driver to share the seat of the No. 88 with Jeff Gordon.
