If this guy is such a great driver why does he have to punt a driver (Blaney) out of the way at Watkins Glen?

The result was a 14th-place finish that got Wood Brothers the two spots it needed. Wood, spotting on the backstretch, said Said took care of the car and realized he was racing not the leaders, but the other drivers like Dave Blaney and Patrick Carpentier competing to get their cars back in the top 35. In the waning laps, with Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman closing fast behind him, Said pulled aside and let them go by.
"That was honorable," Wood said. "It was all about getting points."
Instead of really on ability to beat the 22 car, he decided to punt him out of the way. The 22 car was only 21 points in front of the 21 car prior to the race. Since Said punted the 22, he assumed 35th in points, which locks the 21 into the top 35
