The Nascar Thread

So basically Nascar decided that Stenhouse gets fined because he waited an hour and a half to fight - it wasn’t a heat of battle thing. And then the crew members most involved get an 8 race suspension because we can’t have these things scale into full team brawls. And Stenhouse’s dad gets the indefinite suspension like we have seen with other non-team member fight participants in the past (because they’re not part of Nascar and there in the garage area as guests) - per rule.

I’m good with all of that. Nascar has historically not penalized drivers for fights in the heat of the moment - and I think that’s the right way to handle it. But here Stenhouse waited 198 laps. 😆

Yeah, all of this. The crew suspensions were pretty harsh, but the one who had Kyle in aean headlock trying to choke him out really deserved it. Crew should not be able to touch the drivers like that. That big dude for Kyle's crew wasn't messing around tho.

As for Ricky's dad, this ain't his first rodeo. He should lose his hard card for the rest of the season at minimum. He's had a history of being in the middle of fights before and Nascar probably factored that in their decision.
