NASCAR Drops The Hammer On Austin Dillon! My Take.

[@HoofHearted801]

It's expecting a lot for an organization that required 15 FBI super detectives to distinguish the difference between a garage door pull rope and an unacceptable symbol of hatred, to make any decision for which they don't receive payment and can't shift the responsibility to someone else. Nascar is pathetic.

If Backmarkers consistently "Stunk Up " either Big Bill or Bill, Jr's shows they would have got a talking to they wouldn't soon forget!!!!! Guys like Preece and Stenhouse set the stage and NASCAR loved it, until Logano (crash to win) and Hamlin (cry baby to basher and back) and a lot of the very fans who come only to see "wrecks" weren't satisfied. NASCAR is imploding.

[@jacksurratt7818]

They just don't want a driver setting in 32nd place ..in the playoffs. But thier the ones that made the win your in .. stipulation.

100% accurate Kenny, you're right. Dillion should be in the playoffs, he won. I've watched NASCAR for over 20 years and seems now the rules have changed into NASCARS' rules, whatever decision they make at anytime. "Win your in" has been the motto since it started, but NASCAR rules changed that, probably influenced by the 2 drivers and owners that were wrecked out and whoever else. Wrecking is racing. I have seen drivers take chances and pay for it, but some prevail and end up winning. I remember when Stenhouse wrecked just about everyone on the track to win and he won, it was a fun race to watch. He went to the playoffs. NASCAR shouldn't be making up the rules as they go. Dillion won, he should be in the playoffs, it's what's right.

[@damiendrakeford4229]

Nascar dropped the ball on this one absolutely handled this wrong. The win should have stood austin had the best car all night long maybe a fine but he should have kept the win

[@kralko9154]

He did keep the win.

I agree about that one do it on sunday or night or Saturday when you race, not three days later!

[@quicktastic]

You can't have it both ways. Imagine an NFL playoff game where one team wins on a controversial call and, on Wednesday, they say the win counts, but the other team advances in the playoffs. You either win or you lose.

[@bobbbobb4663]

Saints fans would be elated with that type of policy

[@briandolson2941]

Imagine an NFL team that didn't make the playoffs, still gets to play and knock out a team that did. Insane!

[@quicktastic]

@@briandolson2941 If he broke rules, he should be disqualified from the race and the car behind him should be declared the winner of the race. As I said, they can't (or shouldn't) have it both ways. Players catch game winning TD passes with seconds to go and everyone celebrates, and then, after review, they say he was out of bounds and they lose.

[@CuzznRickH14]

And the last lap rule should be, ok to move a car, just can't wreck a car. What Dillon did was expected because that rule wasn't in place. Wrecking ain't racing.

[@paulqschwartz8593]

kenny lets drop you win in your in. lets go by points to get in. guys like Martin Truex consistent all your but has no wins. also lets do away with stage racing. breads more cautions in last stage

[@oskydave]

Agree. Thanks

[@jjs1982.]

The rule is clear: "race finishes must be unencumbered by actions detrimental to stock car racing". And yes, wrecking 2 cars to get a win is indeed "detrimental to stock car racing". End of story.

[@isaiahmarker407]

Hamlin wrecked himself. He said himself that he came up not expecting Dillon to be there

[@jongreenley2265]

Your opinion. 9:06 I was impressed with AD. Finally after being everybody's punching bag for years runs excellent, no caution AD wins. Sad deal the restart infraction by Joe Lagono wasn't called.

[@shadowears]

This ruling is BS!!! Logano wrecked Truex to make it in to the playoffs on the last lap just a few years ago without any consequences whatsoever! He has wrecked cars several times just for the win! Hamlin has done the same thing several times as well! NASCAR created this scenario by implementing the GWC and the current points format! NASCAR actually wants things like this to happen! This must be appealed if NASCAR wants to be fair to all other drivers! If it is ok for Logano to do it then it should be ok for all other drivers to do it!

[@ieronimo18]

You're trying to equate apples and oranges. Dillon obviously crossed the line.

[@charlieb8104]

Logano didn't come from 3 car lengths back and drive into the person. Austin wasn't competitive on the restart. If he got to the 22's bumper fairly then have at it but he didn't. It's a shame as the 3 was fast. If you can't put a whole race together you shouldn't win.

[@shadowears]

@@charlieb8104 After doing more research I discovered that Ross Chastain wrecked both Alex Bowman and A.J. Allmendinger on the final lap also to secure a playoff spot! Distance doesn't matter! If it is fair to put the bumper to another car to get the win for one driver then it should be fair for all of them. I am not arguing that what Dillon done was right! My argument is that if NASCAR is going to halfass enforce the rules then they need to step it up and be consistent about it! NASCAR should have let it go and held a drivers meeting and tell them that the rules are going to be enforced going forward for ALL drivers!

[@Mistermatt1984]

It was less about him dumping Logano. Everyone is stuck on that. It was the entirety of his actions. If he doesn’t dump Denny it’s not an issue.

[@shadowears]

@@ieronimo18 So you can define the line? NASCAR can't define it! They first said that Dillon toed the line and later said that he crossed it! Chastain wrecked Bowman and Allmendinger on the final lap in the recent past and there were no fines or penalties handed out! Where or what is the line? If one driver can put the bumper to another car on the final lap to get the win then all of them should be allowed to do so!

[@michaelisaza8676]

@Kenny Wallace, you are one of the first to report this:)) I couldn't think of a better driver/analyst to have this "Press Conference" . Great work Kenny, who wants a big trophy that means absolutely nothing ? Please explain the benefit to Austin now that penalties have been assessed. I do not understand why they call him the winner, but they take away all the winning "royalties". I feel bad for Austin. I really do. But, they did penalize #9 a few years ago so we can't say "if this was so and so they wouldn't have done this". Anyway, I just think the penalties send mixed signals. NASCAR " you can have the win, but we're gonna take your money and position in the game". Weird

Right or wrong, NASCAR needs to make the call before the cars go to the garage, like Herman said. How long could it possibly take? 5 minutes? 10 minutes?
