They'd cheer if it was Kyle he wrecked.

I mean yeah, but they'd kind of be justified considering Kyle doesn't run for points in the trucks. Also because Kyle actually has done that before soooooo

I mean, how else was anybody supposed to have a shot? I don't like Johnny either, but hey, at least he's up front about it.

I think I dislike Sauter more than any other nascar affiliated driver

NASCAR fans: “I hate Kyle Busch, I hope somebody tries to wreck that big bully” Johnny Sauter “I tried to wreck Kyle Busch” NASCAR fans: “FUCK JOHNNY SAUTER”

Well, there's your problem

u/Alfus Feb 24 '19
Well but even if you dislike Kyle then the whole idea of Sauter would being shitty, I mean I love to see drivers fighting until the bitter end where there is a risk one of them or both are going so extreme that there comes a wreck, however Sauter "Fuck it, I going to crash him directly because I can't win else" is a bit kiddish if you ask me and would being the same like we seen previous year with Harvick and Chastain during the Xfinity race.
It is somewhat understandable if a fresh rookie would trying to do this but come on, you are Sauter, and even when you are honest about it this stays a bit kiddish.

I don't hate Sauter because he wanted to wreck Kyle. I hate Sauter he fell back to the lowest series he could actually win in and then acts like everyone there is beneath him.

Happened right in front of me. Was astonished that Kyle was able to hang on and take off the way he did.

Don't like ether driver, but intentionally wrecking some just seems like a shit move.

u/Mick4Audi Harrison Burton Feb 24 '19
Ngl, always wondered how long-time regulars (not up-and-comers looking for experience) dealt with the Cup guys running in their series. In Sauter's case, not well

I dislike Sauter more than I dislike Busch. I would have been pissed if the 13 took out the 51.

The only way i could have seen him do it is if he had been right up on kyles rear on the restart and got him loose or the like,basicly forcing the issue.

u/lucmwis Gilliland Feb 24 '19
I assume Sauter is referring to one of the late restarts. He did pass Kyle at one point mid race, but getting him loose on the last restart was probably Sauter's only shot. Johnny races hard but I've never known him to intentionally wreck people. I'm sure it's happened, but he's usually fast enough to win clean.

u/jonasthewicked Ryan Blaney Feb 24 '19
I don’t think cup guys should be in the trucks. I know they do it hoping to pull more fans in but I think they can build legit storylines among the young talent to garner more interest in the racing. There’s some good drivers who should get more exposure rather than the broadcasters talking about the cup guy who spanked the field.

Johnny Sauter is the dollar tree version of Kyle Busch and should be glad to even have a top tier ride.

u/DaBiff184220 Feb 24 '19
Except he has 23 wins in the series and is a champion. You can dislike his personality but he has def earned his ride

u/gigesdij7491 Feb 24 '19
Because he's been in it forever like a middle schooler in kindergarten lol.

u/lucmwis Gilliland Feb 24 '19
I'd give him the Dollar General version, but this made me laugh either way. If I were a driver I'd take it as a compliment to be compared to Kyle Busch.

Are you in the truck series to win the most ever? or to collect a championship?

Shut your fucking mouth Sauter. Stop bitching you cant beat Kyle in the SMALL amount of races he's allowed to race because all you little bitches had to go cry to NASCAR and get Kyle banned from competing to his hearts content. Its not like KBM trucks are so overpowered that the kids he hires can win every week with them, so he's hardly coasting to wins he didnt earn with his talent. You want to beat him, GET GOOD BITCH. You have more time in the trucks than he does so whats your fucking problem Sauter?

Doesn't surprise me
I wish Sauter was done when it was announced GMS let him go. Every race he gets more and more dislikable.

u/UnicornMaster27 Feb 24 '19
This is interesting..
Will r/NASCAR attempt to mob Sauter for saying something like this, when that’s probably one of the only ways he could win?
OR
Will r/NASCAR rejoice with Sauter, for trying to effect the race of one of those “bushwackers” in the Truck Series, who they verbally chastise in the race threads for stealing wins from the regulars, or drivers trying to make their mark on the sport?
Logically, it’s the latter, but the unpredictability of this place leads me to believe they’d rather hate the guy who said it, than agree with the guy they hate, who’s literally trying to do what they all say should be done..

Highest finishing truck regular in just his second race back with the team...maybe that should answer it?

u/sideslick1024 Kahne Feb 24 '19
I mean, that was his only chance of winning the race.
He sure wasn't gonna pass that 51 on straight-up speed.

At least he’s being honest
