That’s unfair
I’m glad Nascar is finally doing what’s right.I always said these guys get away with this all the time and don’t get punished for it.Congratulations Chase. Thumbs up to Nascar.
can’t have Hamlin tied with Elliot with 3 wins or JGR having 199 wins only Henrick can have that
Good, funny how Hamlin seemed so good all of a sudden. He got his reward for wrecking Chastain. Sad for Kyle, though.
NASCAR has got so crooked they will do any thing to get their fair haired boy wonder in to the winner circle I was surprised they did’nt have a debris on track for him Bill France is turning over in his grave with the crap they are pulling what a disgrace.
Geez, they must be out of tin foil at most stores as many people are wearing tin foil (fool) hats these days.
Fine with me that those two were caught, but there were probably several more with illegal cars at the same time.
