If drivers are unsure of what they can or can't do on the racetrack, the past couple of weeks showed clarity. Or at least some clarity. To recap: --Layne Riggs was held two laps for retaliating against Stefan Parsons during the Nashville truck race.
did talk to him, Sawyer said, but felt it was a much different situation than Wallace-Bowman. 'Two completely different scenarios,' Sawyer said. 'Chase accelerates to get up to the 99 . We've seen that for many, many years. ... Very slight contact.' --Corey LaJoie was not fined for contact with Kyle Busch as they diced for position following a restart at Pocono Raceway.
hasn't used all that often. Sawyer said in some ways has set the line — slight contact is OK while not-slight contact is not. The question is what is the line between what is acceptable and not enough? My guess is that is one of those 'we'll know it when we see it' type of deals. The difficulty in the Elliott-Suarez situation is that Elliott did drive toward Suarez and at the least harassed him after the race. If done on its own after a race, nothing would be thought of it.
