NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin reveals potential grounds for Richard Childress Racing to fight the appeal for Austin Dillon's playoff eligibility.
Austin Dillon's playoff eligibility was stripped following his controversial win at the Richmond Cup Series race, where he intentionally wrecked competitors Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano on the last lap.This unprecedented action by NASCAR, which included revoking Dillon's playoff eligibility and imposing a 25-point penalty on both Dillon and his team, Richard Childress Racing, has led to an official appeal.
'I would argue that a little bit because I read some language to you last week that was in the rulebook that when it comes to the kind of fairness of the sport they can make unprecedented calls, I think what NASCAR is going to defend.'Maybe they're not just going to argue that he did it intentionally or not intentionally, whatever it might be. They're probably going to say people have wrecked for the win for quite some time and you've done nothing.
