Over the previous yr, it’s been a fringe speaking level in NASCAR fan circles about whether or not or not Denny Hamlin’s 23XI Racing bringing a lawsuit in opposition to the Sanctioning Physique would have penalties on the monitor.
In different phrases, as The Related Press introduced up in a virtually one hour State of the Sport press convention, what would NASCAR management say to followers if race management has to name a penalty in opposition to ‘recurring speeder’ Hamlin on Sunday as he chases the Cup Sequence championship.
League president Steve O’Donnell didn’t mince phrases when requested if Hamlin getting a hypothetical penalty on Sunday could be seen as ‘controversial’ from the fanbase.
“No,” O’Donnell stated after which known as the query ‘a bit absurd.’
O’Donnell stated that each penalty they name on the monitor has been supported with the digital information that triggers a response from race management within the first place. And to his level, each time a penalty is known as that’s seen as controversial or ‘shut,’ a NASCAR official tends to fairly shortly tweet the proof in real-time.
All of that is to say that Hamlin completely has a well-documented historical past of dashing on pit highway and getting known as for it, and if it occurs on Sunday, NASCAR will likely be ready with fast real-time proof to help that decision from race management.
