]]>@Michael Brown Total BS!!!!
]]>They also said earlier on race hub that regardless of the outcome of the appeal decision you lose points anyway and that was the reason that Kaulig still lost points ! The rule was made the day before Kaulig appeal hearing !
]]>The only way NASCAR could get away with ending the charter system is to pay the team owners the current market value of each charter they own, but there’s no way they can afford that. And unfortunately, sponsors love the charter system. It’s a lot easier to get companies on board if there is a guarantee that their driver will be in the race. You won’t find many companies today willing to put money into a team and have their only exposure be for two laps in qualifying.
]]>@Christopher Childs no you aren’t. You’ll be watching Sunday
]]>Not even the same penalty!!! If HMS Was fined for having both vents per car… Kaulig only had 1! Ideally they should have initially received 1/2 of the penalty to begin with.
As for there being “No Transparency” all we can do is assume the appeals panel of is being biased! Even the supreme court of America releases it’s final judgement on a case… But not here in Nascar?!
The problem with the loss of the charter system is that when a team has to close down the team is basically worthless! Parts and equipment is sold for pennies on the dollar and you leave the sport with less than you came in with! Having a charter to sell to a new team gives the team some value!
I think the teams must finish no lower than 35th in points to keep their charter (I thinks there’s a current rule of 2 years of consistent)… And the remaining 5 spots are allowed for open qualifying. I do think they need to go back to 43 cars allowed on the track assuming they can make a speed/time better than the minimum requirements.
Even if the louvers were being received through a technical alliance and not direct from manufacturer, Kaulig’s TA is with RCR, not HMS
]]>They all get their parts from the same single source supplier so Kaulig couldn’t have gotten them from Hendrick. And the fact that it was only one Kaulig car makes me believe theirs was either intentional or the single source supplier provided them to both Hendrick and Kaulig modified. Faulty parts do happen. That’s where Nascar’s bad communication comes into play if Hendrick either wasn’t told if they could use them or if Nascar told them they could use them and then decided they couldn’t. Either way this is a circus and I blame Nascar either way for this.
