A great subject of discussion this week in the Nascar The garage is Austin Cindric and his penalty. Even Denny Hamlin speaks. There are a lot of mixed feelings about the right rear hook which does not result from a week’s suspension.
Denny Hamlin talks about everything that is nascar every week on his podcast. But this subject seems to be postponed in the Phoenix weekend.
Austin Cindric received a penalty of $ 50,000 for Ty Dillon’s right back. For some, it was not a fairly important penalty. Hamlin was at the reception of a right rear hook in Charlotte in 2023, graceful of Chase Elliott.
This may be why he is convinced of this subject. Hamlin was certainly not 100% comfortable with the penalty.
“You just judge the intention,” said Hamlin, Via Fox Sports Bob Pockrass. “As I said, I don’t think the result should be important, it is intention that should really matter.”
Regarding intention, it is something that Nascar can determine. Looking at SMT data, those responsible indicate exactly what happened. This would show that Cindric turned into Dillon and would be an aberrant value among his other data.
“I did not do it, so I did not see the data, I did not watch it at the time and I did not frankly had time to look at them this week,” continued Hamlin. “So I don’t know. I don’t know what the intention was, I should investigate, but it’s not my job.”
In the future, Denny Hamlin wants to see consistency. Let us call a fault a fault and continue, even with the new rule on the missing of a race. The drivers who are missing a race without medical excuse or restriction of age limit will lose all the eliminatory points for the whole year.
“Yeah, I mean, that’s what is designed (for). Hamlin continued. “Sometimes it will seem worse than it should be and sometimes it will not seem enough. But this is where you had to somehow trace the line and say that it is not the result, a fault is a fault, a blatant is obvious.”
Although Cindric has obtained a great penalty, there is a feeling that it was not enough. Kyle Busch said a large part of the same thing during its media availability. Has Nascar let Cindric easily deactivate or should he have given him the suspension?
