NASCAR Champion’s Week was only in the first stage when the guy it honors this year, 37-year-old Martin Truex Jr. of New Jersey, spoke of a “grounding process.”

It had nothing to do with coming off the cloud since he doggedly held off Kyle Busch of Las Vegas to win the Cup Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 19.

It was about dropping by Sunrise Children’s Hospital on Tuesday afternoon to spend time in the cancer ward.

“It’s such a grounding process when you go in there,” said the driver of the No. 78 Toyota for the upstart Furniture Row Racing team. This combination produced a season-high eight victories, including one at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “It’s a constant reminder when you see those kids how lucky we are to do what we do and, not only that, just to wake up and be healthy.”

Truex colored with the youngsters in a small playroom and challenged them to races on a Pinewood Derby track. You couldn’t see the smiles when the kids won because surgical masks covered them. But you could tell from the twinkle in the champ’s eye, and those in the playroom, that he had successfully brought a brief moment of joy to the cancer ward.

“It breaks my heart to sit there and talk to ‘em and see the pain they are in and how tired they are,” Truex told a small group of reporters on the hospital curb. “It’s definitely a humbling thing to come here.”

He has a spot in his heart for these kids that is softer than a set of Goodyears after a long fuel run. Truex talked about his foundation, which he and longtime girlfriend Sherry Pollex founded in 2007 — before Sherry was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.

She has been able to ward off the virulent disease through two bouts of chemotherapy. But every day is a battle, and the season never really ends when one is fighting cancer.

After the surgical masks came off, NASCAR’s new champion talked about racing cars for a bit and mentioned being on the cloud. It wasn’t long before he brought the conversation back to the kids on the fourth floor.

“I can’t imagine what they’re going through, what they must feel and think,” Martin Truex Jr. said just nine days after people were saying much the same about him as confetti fell and Gatorade was sprayed in Florida.

Reflection had lapped the field.

In response to the incident, NASCAR officials took a day to carefully review videos and radio communications related to the wreck. After thorough consideration, they ultimately decided to suspend Elliott for one race. This decision left a wide fanbase of HMS’ Golden Boy disappointed and dissatisfied.

Recently, on The Dale Jr. Download podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr and his co-host Mike Davis, along with guest Ryan Blaney, discussed the matter at length. Dale Jr commended Elliott for his clever responses during interviews, acknowledging his handling of the situation. He also directed everyone’s attention towards the SMT technology, which NASCAR relied upon to make their decision.

Undoubtedly, every decision made by the governing body is hotly debated among experts and fans. The same thing happened with NASCAR’s decision to suspend Elliott. The decision, based on SMT data, was criticized by some while others found it to be lenient. For those who are unaware, SMT is Sports Media Technology that is available to every team on the grid.

During a recent episode of the Dale Jr Download podcast, Dale Jr discussed the matter, stating, “I talked to O’Donnell and Denny and everybody is pointing to SMT”

He then turned to Davis and Blaney to gauge their thoughts on the issue. Blaney responded by saying, “I feel like SMT is good in about thing, it is good to look at sometimes but I don’t think you can fully rely on it”

Dale Jr emphasized the point of intent by saying, “You can’t see intent” from SMT.

Dale agreed with Ryan’s perspective and emphasized that intent cannot be accurately determined through SMT alone. He also praised Chase for handling the situation adeptly during interviews, “Chase did a good job not giving away too much in his interviews so forth which everybody’s learned that’s kind a route to be take not to have immersion to guilt.”

It appeared that Chase intentionally made contact with Denny Hamlin, but Chase defended himself in post-race interviews by stating that it was a situation where nobody had full control over their cars. However, Denny Hamlin strongly disagreed with the reasoning provided by the 2021 champion.

Hamlin took to Twitter and shared car-tracking data in a tweet, which seemed to indicate that Elliott abruptly turned left just before the collision occurred between the two drivers.

Furthermore, in his podcast, Actions Detrimental, Hamlin said, “He was having a s*** day anyway, in his opinion, and he threw a little temper tantrum and decided to hook a left on us down the straightaway.”
