Star driver/team owner says sanctioning body should make a “big-boy call” to act as a deterrent after Dillon wrecked two cars at the final corner to win at Richmond.
Hamlin believes that if NASCAR stripped Austin Dillon of his win in Sunday’s Cup race at Richmond that all other drivers in the garage would agree that it was “warranted”. Dillon wrecked Joey Logano and Hamlin in the final two turns to claim victory and a place in NASCAR’s end-of-season playoffs in Sunday night’s dramatic race. Hamlin spoke for over an hour on the subject on his Actions Detrimental podcast, entitled ‘Integrity of the Sport on the Line’ that dropped on Monday afternoon.
They said, like always, they’ll take a look at it.” NASCAR traditionally reports any penalties from race weekends on the Tuesday after the event, allowing it times to revisit camera angles, data and radio traffic. Earlier in the podcast, Hamlin called on NASCAR to “penalize him, like you’re supposed to” and read out the rules pertaining the “orderly conduct of the sport”.
