“It Should Never Be Allowed” – Bubba Wallace Insider Demands a “Standard Rule” as He Condemns Drivers Intentionally Wrecking

Cautions are an important part of a race as they ensure safety. However, while doing safekeeping, caution could provide other benefits to the drivers as well. So, many drivers have found a loophole and cunningly use caution in their favor. NASCAR seems a little relaxed when it comes to awarding penalties for such activities. Though they recently awarded a whopping 6-figure penalty to each of the Hendrick Motorsports crew chiefs, fans are currently seeing a pattern with drivers intentionally raising cautions.

This is nothing new for NASCAR, but it is becoming an increasingly significant concern now. Bubba Wallace’s insider, who recently appeared on the Door Bumper Clear podcast, shared his views on drivers intentionally raising caution to benefit themselves. He believes it manipulates the race and gives the drivers an edge over their rivals.

Bubba Wallace Insider appeals to NASCAR regarding drivers intentionally raising cautions

It is not far-fetched to speculate that NASCAR’s dossier would be full of complaints and appeals. Freddie Kraft shared his opinions on Dirty Mo Media’s production. While discussing cautions in the recent COTA Cup Series race, Casey Boat asked Freddie, “Do you think that should not be allowed or do you think that’s something like an advantage people get?”

Kraft replied, “It should never be allowed. If you intentionally draw a caution, a one-lap penalty, then you’re not eligible for lucky dog, in my opinion.”

“That should be the standard rule, pretty standard at short tracks everywhere. If you get a flat tire, a lot of times you’ll see guys stop by the wall because the short track you got a flat tire and draw a caution,” he added.

When caution is raised, drivers’ efforts go in vain. However, many others get an opportunity to level with the grid leaders. Kraft expressed his view on indirect benefits and how they should be penalized.

He said, “They’re better off one lap down because if they go to the infielders on their flat tire, somebody could use the pit. You’re gonna lose multiple laps. I think anywhere you draw a caution out, intentionally draw a caution it should be a one-lap penalty and you’re not eligible lucky dogs.”
