Chastain being your teammate is like being friends with someone who pushes a random bystander into you, then tells you the bystander pushed you and you should fight him.

Daniel Suarez will get some sort of penalty. Thank you Elton Sawyer for not ignoring this.

Easy penalty. Dont care if you do it on track, not in the pits tho. There are people all around you. You dont know if the 48 will spin out or not.

[JackLikesTrackhouse]

Should be the same fine Gibbs got last year.

[coldstonestunners]

Increased penalty of Ty’s. Make a point not to tolerate this when officials /pit crew members and media are near

[nutchunder]

I would be fine with this if it wasn't done around innocent bystandards in the pits

[barneyward]

It should be a 1 race suspension honestly, This sort of pit road behaviour that has happened in the past has not had punishments fit the crime enough, and this should be the best chance for NASCAR to make that change.

[HoosierRC]

Maybe penalize people who wreck others for a spot on the track.. there’s no repercussions

[soisaidtogod]

So bush league. They call themselves professionals, yet their actions are those of an upset pre teen.

No damage occured to either cars and nascar painted the drivers in a box with this new car there consistency policy consists of fia rules let's be fair that's what it all boils down to if you intentionally wreck or slam someone now nascar is gonna nickel and dime the teams more on top of what they're already paying the daily cost for a race team is unreal but greed has spoiled the sport
