NASCAR did take today's parity and apply it to the pre-1982 downsized chassis, that's how it got to this point.

I am not a Hamlin fan, but I couldn't agree any more with him on this one. His comments were not bad at all. What the #$%^ was NASCAR thinking???

Hamlin drops appeal.
Too bad I was hoping he would fight it out with NASCAR but then again he is not a Hendrick driver so no chance of winning any appeals.

From this point my answer to all questions would be "no comment."

I don't follow NASCAR, in fact I had to look up who Denny Hamlin was...

I used to follow NHRA but got away from that when "parity" and "cost savings" lumped together with political correctness entered the picture.

I read up on the Hamlin incident and what burns me is when a driver gets fired up for a cause then backs away with his/her tail between their legs. Now he says it was the tires.

I read the original quotes...tires never entered the discussion. Wonder how Good Year feels about that?
