Alright, let’s talk about this NASCAR fines thing, you know, the stuff they did today. I heard they slapped some folks real hard, like, real hard. Heard it on the TV, those fellers talkin’ fast, but I got the gist of it, I think.
So, first off, they talkin’ ’bout big money, like, the kind you could buy a whole lotta cows with. Seems like some fellers were messin’ around durin’ the race, not racin’ right, you know? Like, blockin’ and stuff. NASCAR, they don’t like that one bit. They want racin’, clean racin’.
- They fined some fella, Chastain, I think his name was. A whole hundred thousand dollars! That’s enough to make your head spin, ain’t it? And his team, Trackhouse, they got fined the same! Another hundred thousand gone, just like that. Poof!
- And it ain’t just money, mind you. They suspended some folks too. That Tony feller, and Philip, and Brandon, they can’t go to the next race. Gotta sit home and watch it on TV like the rest of us, I guess. Serves ‘em right, maybe.
- And that Dillon feller, he got whacked too. Hundred thousand dollars for him and his team, Richard somethin’ somethin’. Seems like a lot of money flyin’ around, don’t it?
Now, they sayin’ these fellers were blockin’ another driver, Byron, I think. Chevy driver, just like them. Shouldn’t be doin’ that, should they? NASCAR, they got rules, and you gotta follow ‘em. That’s what they tell us, anyway.
I tell ya, it’s a whole heap of trouble just for a race. All that money, all them suspensions… makes you wonder if it’s worth it. But these fellers, they love racin’, I guess. It’s in their blood, like farm work is in mine. But still, gotta be smart about it, ya know? Can’t go around breakin’ rules and expectin’ nothin’ to happen.
NASCAR handed out fines, and I mean, a whole bunch of ‘em. Six hundred thousand dollars, they say! Six hundred thousand! That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I reckon. And they suspended nine people! Nine! That’s a whole lotta folks missin’ out on the racin’ next week. Heard they suspended the crew chiefs, the spotters, and even some big shot executive fellers.
They say it’s ’cause of “race manipulation” at Martinsville. Sounds fancy, but it just means they were messin’ with the race, tryin’ to fix things, maybe? I don’t know for sure, but it ain’t right. You gotta race fair and square, that’s what my pappy always told me. You win some, you lose some, but you do it honest.
Seems like NASCAR’s gettin’ tough on these fellers, and that’s probably a good thing. Gotta keep things on the up and up, ya know? Can’t have folks cheatin’ and breakin’ the rules. That ain’t fair to nobody.
So, them NASCAR fines today, they were a big deal. Lots of money, lots of suspensions. Hopefully, these fellers learn their lesson and start racin’ right. And maybe NASCAR will think twice before lettin’ things get outta hand like this again. It ain’t good for nobody, this kind of mess. Just causes trouble and headaches, and ain’t nobody got time for that.
Anyway, that’s what I heard, best I could figure it. Those TV fellers talk so fast, and they use all them big words, hard to keep up sometimes. But the long and short of it is, some folks messed up, NASCAR got mad, and now they gotta pay the price. Simple as that, I reckon.
