Penalty for not caring about using up Ross because Ross has dumped him 37 times? Not cool
Denny, get it together!
Ya’ll see how Denny has backup even though Ross Chastain has his hands behind his back?
So in NASCAR’s eye 22 wrecking 24 at Darlington was totally not intentional and didn’t compromise the result of the race despite what Logano said after the race. And NASCAR thinks they are being consistent.
IMHO I think this penalty should be enforced only if it was said on raceday, not in days after.
If a driver makes it look like a racing incident and doesn’t admit it on raceday, they shouldn’t be penalized.
And if they must, it should be minimal
So drivers cant do anything now.
