A chauffeur gets an automated berth to the 16-driver playoff field with the success (so long as there aren't much more than 16 victors throughout the season), yet NASCAR withdrawed that berth under a policy that claims the gain need to be unencumbered through transgressions of NASCAR guidelines or even actions detrimental to NASCAR.A three-member NASCAR-appointed beauties board refuted RCR's initial charm Aug. 20 and NASCAR's ultimate charm policeman also supported the NASCAR choice Aug. 25.

Is actually that over right now?" What is actually free throw line? And then if you visit racing a person off the corner as well as they acquire loosened [as Hamlin carried out] and get into you, after that carries out that indicate you're out of the Hunt? That's all I came to mention regarding the ruling. But it has changed racing for a succeed for certain."
