Really NASCAR?

Read this and tell me that Hamlin did something wrong. This is why I've lost so much interest in the sport. He stated his opinion; it's amusing how his comment was taken.

Thanks for fixing the link bud. And I agree it's ridiculous. The comments on a similar story on USA today backed up what I said. It's controlling and over the top. It's becoming (like most aspects of our lives) a controlled and highly monitored environment where more control and rules are viewed as positive and helpful. It's going to take drivers standing up to the goons who run this to fix it. I doubt they will. The comment Hamlin made about the yellow flags in the USA today I find interesting and have felt it's true.

I don't see an issue with what either side did. Nascar has rules and drivers have opinions. So a driver can't drive the new car and complains. Big deal. So he got fined for it. Big deal again. All in all I'm not surprised considering Hamlin is a douche anyhow.

IMO Hamlin is. Not surprised.

Nascar has an industry to run.
