Hamlin Fined $25K

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been fined $25,000. Denny Hamlin should be raising his hand, because NASCAR is fining him that exact amount for his comments about the Generation 6 cars. To paraphrase, he simply said that the Generation 6 cars did not pass as well as the Generation 5 cars, and got a hefty fine for speaking his voice about an inanimate object. Does that make sense? Hamlin did not sit there and say derogatory things about NASCAR, he simply said that Generation 6 did not do something as well as Generation 5. If that’s fineable for $25,000, then send me one because I think that the NBA and David Stern hands out better fines, and I did not think that was something I’d ever say. Just fix the car, and everything will be alright.
