This was due to arrive, after the severe backlash from the sports community. However, what irked them further was that it was just one single race ban. For the severity of his actions, the man was not given any points duck or fine. This sure does seem to be a massive open display of NASCAR’s hypocrisy in delivering punishments.

Obviously, the fans were only angered more after the announcement of just a single-race ban. On the other hand, drivers such as William Byron were handed out massive fines and drivers such as Kevin Harvick were dealt harshly for speaking against the oppressive and tone-deaf nature of NASCAR.
