NASCAR Biggest Scandals

While NASCAR has had its share of controversies throughout its history, one of the most notable scandals occurred in 2007 with the penalization of Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) at Richmond International Raceway. During the race, MWR allegedly orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the outcome and help their driver, Martin Truex Jr., secure a spot in the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup. Team orders led to intentionally spun cars and questionable pit strategies, which drew the attention of NASCAR officials. As a result, severe penalties were imposed, including point deductions and fines. The incident not only tarnished MWR's reputation but also raised concerns about the integrity of the sport. The Richmond scandal prompted NASCAR to implement changes in rules and officiating procedures to prevent similar occurrences in the future, emphasizing the importance of fair competition and maintaining the trust of fans and participants alike.

NASCAR has a long history of selectively choosing what rules to enforce and when/on what driver or team.

NASCAR just wanted that Kansas race in 2007 to be over. They didn't give a flip

[@MMCS07]

Yeah

[@corbinselanne7990]

Michael Waltrip Racing wasn't the only team to manipulate the results at Richmond 2013, Team Penske and Front Row Motorsports colluded to get Joey Logano into the chase instead of Jeff Gordon. NASCAR invoked a hidden rule related to the chase by adding Jeff as a thirteenth player, after Martin Truex Jr of MWR lost his spot in favor of Ryan Newman.

[@MMCS07]

Yeah but Penske didn’t get a penalty
