The San Francisco 49ers have tried to find a reliable tight end to complement George Kittle throughout his tenure in the NFL but to no avail. To make matters worse, their TE2 and TE3, Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley departed to the Atlanta Falcons. They also failed to sign Brock Wright after the Lions matched the 49ers’ offer sheet.

RICHMOND, Va. – With his driver knocked from of the lead on the last lap, crew chief Paul Wolfe called foul on winner Austin Dillon and called on NASCAR to do something. “It’s just a joke to call that racing anymore,” Wolfe told Motor Racing Network’s Chris Wilner. “And at some point, it’s up to NASCAR to step up and set the precedent. What’s acceptable? And to call that acceptable, I don’t know how anyone that has watched racing for any amount of time can. To put in all the hard work and all the effort and money and what goes into this. It was a tough race, and something like that, that’s not racing. And at some point, NASCAR is going to have to make the right call on these things. And they missed it tonight with allowing that and giving that car the win.
