Avondale, Ariz. – Ty Dillon is pleased that Nascar Austin Cindric has penalized for turning at Circuit of the Americas last weekend, but was surprised that Cindric was not suspended.
Dillon was not the only driver who surprised Nascar to Cindric.
Nascar scored 50 points and fined him $ 50,000 this week because he hooked Dillon to the right behind in retaliation because he was moved on the track by Dillon.
Spire motorsports put all three of its cars in the top 10.
“I expected a suspicion of one race,” Dillon said. “However, I’m glad they did something. I think 50 points and $ 50,000 are probably enough to make him think about such a thing again. You hope it’s enough, but I think a suspension of one race is most expected of us. “
Cindric said about the fine he received:‘It’s not up to me to decide. … it’s up to Nascar. A fine you should definitely accept and work hard to make it out. “
Racing Communications managing director Mike Fedde, Nascar, said in this week’s “Hauler Talk” podcast that Cindric did not suspend a race because the contact on a roadway with lower speeds and close constraints and the result did not draw a warning flag.
Kyle Busch said it shouldn’t matter.
“The setup is meant,” Busch said at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday. “Put it in the rule book, a real hook will lead to a one-racing suspension period.”
Ross Chastain’s daring move at the start of the Cota race made Chase Elliott’s car.
Chase Briscoe also wants to see Nascar treating a real hook, regardless of the situation.
“It doesn’t really matter if it’s at Talladega or Martinsville, whatever, the result is still the same,” he said. “The man who is on the right goes on the back is likely to crash his car to a certain extent. I definitely think it doesn’t matter what speed you go or how much the car is torn. It is still the intention to do so. “
Erik Jones said Nascar received the call on Cindric.
“If we go to Vegas next week and someone does, it’s not fine,” Jones said. “I think it’s pretty well established where it’s going to be a problem and what’s going to be a problem. I think what Nascar said at Cota, and I agree with them, it was no different from turning a man on a short lane. ‘
Katherine Legge will be the first woman to chase in Nascar since Danica Patrick in 2018.
Dillon said he felt he had been placed in a vulnerable position because of the contact on the right of Cindric.
“I think that’s where Nascar might get themselves in a little trouble if you try to play gray areas,” he said. “What’s fast enough? For the past eight years of my career, they have been doing a safety meeting at Daytona and they show us a photo of a car that is dead sideways and is hit by one that goes 75 to 100 miles per hour and the amount of damage it does is quite incredible.
“… Fortunately, no one came and couldn’t see me and hit me while I’m dead, parallel to the forecast. Would it have been enough to get a fine?
“I just think we just have to do a better job just to make the calls black and white and set a little better standard. I know that they are in a difficult (situation), they have to make decisions. For me, they did a good job of making something out of it. But just make sure he knows specifically that he can’t do it again, especially not for me. ‘
