Unbelievable
Just unbelievable
Stop with all these penalties. Let them race. Don’t you remember being a driver , Elton?
they broke the rules and got caught
@Spencer Prokes and this is exactly why nascars viewership is less than half of what it used to be
@RanndomUndead yeah when it was it’s most popular they were at cookie cutter tracks every week with the ugliest cars nascar has ever run and a bunch of big city superstars racing in big markets. That wasn’t nascar.
I thought nascar was built on cheating. More rules means you have to be good at cheating instead of just anybody doing it. Also keeps costs lower. My question is how in the world was Stewart haas cheating that much and still running 30th? They did a terrible job at cheating. They deserve a penalty.
Sounds like a good idea!
When U ADD COLD AIR TO THE ENGINE BAY PRODUCES MORE POWER
i dont understand why teams are putting illegal parts on cars. Nascar is going to find it.
So they had this “illegal” part and were still one of the worst cars in the field. SHR has some serious issues.
Crazy!
That’s what happens when Harvick has a comment to say.. Nothing fishy going on here friends..Possibly Smokes comments to Herm may have a bit of something to do with this..
How many points taken away? How much money penalized?
Rules are rules.. but I don’t see how it would be remotely possible for the teams to save money on this new car, with quarter million dollar fines being handed down. If I was a team owner, I’d be second guessing myself about the situation and lack of engineering available to use on the parts and pieces. It’s changed my thinking about the new car for sure. Y’all almost fined poor Carl Long out of the sport once upon a time, next time it might be a bigger name who decides to not play the game.
I am not a fan of all cars looking and being the same. I liked when they looked like individual manufacturers cars; a whole lot more fun to root for!
Not a fan of these crazy penalties for minscule infractions.
It was definitely performance enhancing. He spent most of the day a lap down and barely broke the top 20 a couple of times. What other cars were checked and why isnt these things found before the race. Nascar waits until the race is over so they can steal teams sponsor dollars. Just like they did with the little pieces of tape holding the wrap down on busch and hamlins car’s.again not performace enhancing.
0:43 “How was it different on the No. 14 as opposed to what it should be on all of the next gen cars”?
NO ANSWER except “It’sd a real severe penalty. We don’t take these lightly.”
This is why me and my buddy’s stopped watching Nascar years ago . Putting 3 stages in a race and far to many rules .
