You’re like 45 years old saying things like “melt” and “take this L” on a message board, I think you’ve got enough L’s for the both of us

Rain could be an issue at the Indy 500 Sunday, which could impact whether Kyle Larson is able to run the Indy 500 at all. He is required to start the Coca-Cola 600 in order to earn points for the race, so if the Indy 500 has a significant weather delay, it could force him to abandon his Indy 500 run.

Stenhouse fined 75k, his dad is suspended indefinitely from attending NASCAR races. Also had one crew member suspended 8 races and another suspended 4.

No penalties to Busch or anybody at RCR.

For the punch, or for threatening to wreck him? If it's for the punch then NASCAR is dumber than I thought, that was far and away the most exciting part of the racing Sunday.

This is interesting to me. Busch wrecked Stenhouse intentionally, wouldn’t we all agree? What makes his intentional wrecking of Stenhouse different from Chase Elliott’s intentional wrecking of Hamlin in the Coke 600 last year? Elliott was suspended for a race, Busch gets no penalty at all.

I’m not saying I want Busch suspended, this just seems entirely inconsistent.

I don't disagree, but they had to do something to make it look like that they don't condone this type of behavior when we all know that they do behind the scenes.

And all sports leagues operate like this in some shape or fashion.

Well it's obvious that you don't know racing so expect the ridicule.

They could have easily penalized Kyle Busch for putting Stenhouse into the wall. There is precedent for penalizing drivers who do that.

Did they? NASCAR appeared to have openly condoned it all week until now.

They were posting different angles of the fight on their own social media, and I bet they'll use clips of the punch in new ads. They have certainly used Chastain punching Gragson over the last year.

It has also been discussed ad nauseum on SiriusXM and Race Hub. Logano told Dale Jr yesterday that he's still not sure who won the race.

Weird since people seem to agree with me over you


But its hard to tell actual agreement vs people just downvoting you because you say some of the dumbest shite imaginable on the regular

Non points race possibly plays into it.

Maybe so, but if NASCAR cares about being consistent then it shouldn’t. NASCAR doesn’t care about being consistent, though.

100% with you. I don’t want either suspended but if Nascar applied their rules equally then Rowdy sits a race. Thats the issue, they just randomly decide differently for same infractions.

It’s why Nascar is laughed at. And just like Hamlin jumping start with no penalty yet others have done drive throughs for minor ones. Last weekend someone in trick race was penalized for jumping out prior to start finish. It was so so close too, he had just started to move left as they crossed the line but not much. So he got picked on for very minor one and Hamlin was blatant yet nothing.

I also don’t like the fine to Ricky.

The only thing I agree with is his dad having card pulled.

Nascar has never been consistent in it's entire history.

It's always been about the show.

100% agree. Only difference I can find is the All-star is a non points raise.

I agree, it shouldn't, but from NASCAR's perspective, I could see how they don't want all-star shenanigans to bleed over into a crown jewel event.
