Jamie Little Faces Backlash and Calls for Ouster After Botched Final-Lap Call at Rockingham
NASCAR made its return to Rockingham Speedway for the first time in a dozen years on Friday night with the Truck Series. It was an entertaining race as drivers were able to pass throughout the 200-lap event. Interestingly, in the final laps, it wasn't about the passing but who would have enough fuel to make it to the end. Turns out it was Tyler Ankrum who had conserved enough down the stretch and took the checkered flag for his first win since 2019. Advertisement While Ankrum's first win in 130 races was a big storyline, it wasn't the only one. Unfortunately, the Fox broadcast was, and more specifically, the final call by Jamie Little as the No. 18 truck crossed the finish line. Jamie Little during the Daytona 500 at Daytona International J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Here are the words of the Fox broadcast crew (Little, Michael Waltrip and guest analyst Carson Hocevar) as the trucks made their way around the mile-long track for a final time on the white flag lap: "He could coast. He could slow down,' Hocevar said of Ankrum with second-place truck Jake Garcia more than seven seconds behind. 'Final lap guys, the white flag is out,' Little noted. 'Coast to the finish. Tyler Ankrum – hang on. 130 races since he has gone to Victory Lane. Last pitted on Lap 112. The others behind him last pitted on 119. They're out. He hangs on. 'How slow is he going on this final lap?' the lead announcer posed the question at the exact moment Ankrum crossed the finish line for the win.' The McAnally-Hilgemann truck had almost reached Turn 1 before Little realized the race was over. 'The checkered flag is in the air,' she said. 'He gets it done. Tyler Ankrum, your winner.' Advertisement Unsurprisingly, the completely mishandled call got the attention of fans who took to social media and responded with a vengeance to Fox's post of the final laps on X. 'Please. I am begging you. Get rid of Jamie. She's absolutely ATROCIOUS,' one fan wrote. 'Please for the love of everything. Get Jamie out of the booth,' another upset fan replied. 'Y'all really got to get it together. Between the Cup Bristol finish and this finish, it's embarrassing.' 'Nothing unites nascar fans more than hatred for Jamie Little's performance in the booth,' another fan suggested. 'If they are broadcasting remotely, shame on Fox for making it extra difficult, but the booth was aweful again. Please put her back on pit road where she is great.' 'Bruh put Jamie Little back in the pits plz she is a fantastic pit reporter yall are setting her up for failure forcing her to do PxP from a remote booth,' another fan offered. Advertisement 'Jamie is a great pit reporter,' wrote another fan. 'She sucks in the booth. Please get her out of there and get someone good to call races!'

Kyle Busch is ticked off with NASCAR, new DVP rules after Daytona 500
Kyle Busch was not happy after Sunday's Daytona 500 and the crash that ended his chances at winning NASCAR's biggest race for the first time. In his post-crash interview with FOX, Busch wasn't thrilled with Joey Logano's aggressive move that led to the Lap 186 crash that involved Busch and several others near the front of the field. Busch then turned his attention to NASCAR officials in speaking with the media. The two-time Cup Series champion believed his No. 8 Richard Childress Chevrolet could have continued on in Sunday's race, but was unable to partly because of NASCAR's procedural rulings. "We got beat by NASCAR procedures again," Busch said to several media members after the race. Sunday's race was the first regular-season race under NASCAR's new relaxed damaged vehicle rules that allow teams to work on damaged cars with no time limit in the garage area, a change from the DVP rules in last several seasons. "(NASCAR) towed us into a work area where our guys reviewed the car, looked over the car and didn't see anything massively wrong. All the wheels were pointed in the right direction," Busch said. "We put four new tires on it to go back out to see what the next process was going to be for us." DAYTONA 500 WINNERS AND LOSERS: NASCAR Daytona 500 winners and losers: Helio Castroneves crashes early, Penske dominates BACK TO BACK: William Byron wins second straight Daytona 500: Who else has achieved feat? Busch said NASCAR officials told his team that they would need to return to the garage area to further work on the car, except he hadn't been able to make minimum speed since the race was still under caution. Under the new DVP, teams have to meet minimum speed before returning to the garage area for more repairs or be ruled out of the race. "So what are we supposed to do to continue to work on it now that we have four new tires on it and all the wheels are pointed in the right direction?' Busch deadpanned. He was credited with a 34th-place finish in Sunday's race. Busch's media venting wasn't enough. "Parked by NASCAR officials," Busch tweeted on X on Sunday night. "Rule says you have 3 attempts to make minimum speed. The race never went back green yet. I don't even think they know their own rules or procedure." Parked by @nascar officials.

Kyle Busch slams Joey Logano, NASCAR after crash ended Daytona 500 bid early
Kyle Busch had plenty of criticism to go around after his car was part of a major pileup at Sunday's Daytona 500. Busch was caught up in a crash right at the beginning of Stage 2, one that he blamed on Joey Logano. "Looked like the fastest car got in a hurry to get to the wreck," Busch said of Logano, whose bump with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. triggered the chain reaction. "We still got 20 laps to go and he's trying to go through the middle and make a hole that isn't there and just created chaos ... "You gotta know how wide your race car is to find a hole that it will fit in. And he obviously doesn't know that." But Busch, who has never won in his 20 starts at the Daytona 500, saved his harshest words for NASCAR, after race officials denied his attempt to return to the track. Busch's No. 8 Chevrolet seemed to avoid major damage from the wreck, though it did need to be towed back to the garage area. After replacing all four tires, the car returned to the race under caution. But once Busch pitted under the yellow for more repairs, NASCAR ruled him out of the race. Busch complained afterwards he wasn't given a chance to get back on the track and up to speed. He took to social media after not getting what he felt was a satisfactory explanation. "The race never went back to green yet," he wrote. "I don't think they know their own rules or procedures." Parked by @nascar officials. Rule says you have 3 attempts to make minimum speed. The race never went back green yet. I don't even think they know their own rules or procedures. 🤬 — Kyle Busch (@KyleBusch) February 17, 2025 NASCAR's new Damaged Vehicle Policy is designed to give teams a chance to make repairs and keep racing. However, officials stated Busch needed to reach minimum speed immediately after the repairs in the garage were completed. Under the rules, his visit to the pits for anything other than fuel resulted in him being parked for the rest of the race. The ruling was perhaps even more frustrating for Busch at Daytona. Despite 63 NASCAR Cup Series wins (ninth all-time) and two season championships, Busch has never won the Daytona 500 in 20 attempts.
