Controversial Insider Demanding Harsher Punishment for “Blatant Cheating” After NASCAR’s Slap on the Wrist, Angering Racing Community

NASCAR has maintained a record of imposing substantial penalties and suspensions upon discovering illegal car parts. However, consider the scenario where a driver has been winning races for an extended period due to the use of such illegal parts. Then, are these measures and penalties sufficient?

Last week at Milwaukee Mile, there were penalties imposed on four trucks in Truck Series. The No. 51 truck, driven by Matt Mills, received a penalty for having an unapproved triangular filler. Additionally, both the No. 41 and No. 42 trucks were penalized for having one improperly installed lug nut each. Notably, there was a significant penalty for Ty Majeski’s #98 ThorSport Truck due to a failure in the pre-qualifying inspection. This again gives rise to the question, are these penalties enough? Well, NASCAR insider has raised compelling arguments against them.

Veterans criticize NASCAR’s actions

The use of bleeder valves, which release air from tires as they heat up, is permitted in some racing but prohibited in NASCAR. The reason behind this ban is the potentially catastrophic consequences of a bleeder valve failure at speeds of up to 200mph, making it a different story on short and dirt tracks.

Following a thorough inspection at NASCAR’s R&D center, a modified valve stem was discovered in Ty Majeski’s race car, intended for tire bleeding. This valve stem cap could have given Majeski’s team an advantage over their rivals. As a result, NASCAR penalized the No. 98 Ford F-150 ThorSport Racing team for violating Truck Series rulebook Sections 14.16.A, imposing a substantial penalty.

During a discussion on the “Door Bumper Clear” podcast, Brett Griffin contested NASCAR’s penalty, questioning, “Is this blatant cheating? [rhetorically] Is there any bigger form of blatant than this?”

Griffin recalled a similar incident and said, “So Elliott Sadler, he tweeted this has been around a decade…they should just make it legal. That way teams can do it in a safe manner, there’s too much speed on bleeding tires to not to do it.”

“I don’t disagree with Elliott, but Elliott that’s not the case. This is against the rule and what they did to invent an opportunity to do this is blatant cheating.”

“I don’t think this fine is stiff enough, I really don’t. Because you’re basically saying to all your competitors that you’re trying to outrun every single week. ‘F*ck you guys, I’m gonna outrun you, you’ll have no chance to beat me because I have something that you do not have’,” The controversial insider concluded.

In terms of the penalty’s significance, it will drop Ty Majeski from second to 10th in the series standings. However, his place in the next round remains secure. So, What does this penalty signify or symbolize?

Fans have voiced their discontent, arguing that any driver could resort to cheating in a race to secure a playoff spot by winning, rendering hefty penalties almost inconsequential.

One fan, in the comment section of the YT video, claimed, “Ultimately the 98 team did this at a race where they felt they had so little they could lose. The 75 points could have been 2000 and it would have mattered as much when he was already able to go onto the next round. The 5 playoff points hurt a little but we saw how he could run Bristol last year when he won the thing and Dega right after is the great equalizer.”

“Nascar gave them a slap on the wrist. The money could be the biggest thing for a truck team but Thorsport is better rooted than most.”

Another fan exclaimed, “Was it fair? Absolutely not. Didn’t effect the team at all for the 98 as they were already locked in”

Recalling past incidents, a fan remarked, “Not the first time something like this has been done. I don’t think it should have a major effect on the No 98 ThorSport Team going forward….”

“Every team cheats every chance they get, some get caught some get lucky”
