“I Hate This Rule… There’s Guys That Cheat” – Bubba Wallace Insider & Michael Jordan’s Team Member Slams NASCAR Officiating

Following the season-ending race at Phoenix Raceway, many drivers were seen not abiding by a controversial rule that exists for all racetracks. NASCAR insider and Bubba Wallace’s spotter was particularly agitated at NASCAR for not officiating the existing rules. During his recent podcast, he called out NASCAR after several drivers were seen trying to gain an advantage over the others on the track.

Kraft stated, “If, like, I there was a couple of times on Saturday. I hate this rule of Phoenix because they don’t call it correctly a lot. Jamie interjected, “It’s a terrible rule, but they should. There should be a camera there…” Then Kraft said, “There’s guys that cheat… I just hate that rule there. And I don’t know.”

“There’s no way to combat it. I don’t know what you do to change it. But I mean, it’s just that rule seems to come up at that racing machine… I mean, look, we are already overly officiated. Oh, yeah, we have too many rules… We don’t need to make it harder…“

What controversial rule is Freddie Kraft talking about?

The rule surrounding the yellow line on race cars has been dubbed as controversial in NASCAR, especially after the Phoenix race, where no one seems to follow the dogleg and just choose to cut right through the apron.

According to the rule, all drivers must not cross over the yellow line painted on the tracks. However, at Phoenix, during restarts, we saw a horde of drivers diving off the track and crossing the yellow line, cutting across the dogleg in order to gain an advantage over each other.

Another thing that bugs people is NASCAR’s weird enforcement policy over the yellow line rule. Point in case, when half the field drive over the lines at Phoenix, none of them were penalized for that action, instead, it kept happening over and over again as drivers tried their best to gain a competitive edge over their fellow competitors.
