NASCAR Hardball: Why No Fine For Working on Car During Red Flag??

NASCAR once again shows its inconsistency by not fining the 29 car of Richard Childress Racing. During the red flag at Watkins Glen the 29 crew were working on the car until Felix Sabates asked NASCAR officials if the rules had changed regarding working on cars during a red flag.

 

If Robby Gordon gets fined for ignoring the black flag then it stands to reason RCR and Kevin Harvick should be fined for ignoring the red flag.

 

If anyone is wondering why fans are leaving NASCAR, look no more. This screams favoritism and event orchestration. The 29 team got to work on their car a full 5 minutes during the red flag helping them get back out to gain a few points.

 

Fair is fair and rules are rules unless you are RCR and Kevin Harvick this week
