1Why NASCAR took a strong stance on Hendrick. Hamlin actions FOX Sports
NASCAR doesnt always penalize teams after they confiscate parts at the track. Teams had issues with the slats that match the new hoods and had spoken to NASCAR about what could be tweaked to ensure they fit But even with those discussions. after Hendrick won the previous week — and then won again Sunday in Phoenix — NASCAR would have lost a lot of credibility in the garage if it hadnt penalized Hendrick when it felt the slats were modifying Thats one of the reasons NASCAR hammered the Hendrick teams as well as Kaulig Racings Justin Haley over the same issue with four race suspensions for the Crew Chiefs. a $100.000 fine for each Crew Chief and 100 points Penalties for the drivers and teams involved in incidents at each of the Atlanta races last year – and still finished second at both Does consistency matter when it comes to rules from race to race? Yes. Of course. different track sizes and styles have different rules. But the more rules can be the same. the better.
