In every sport, a player uses some of his own tips and tricks to get an advantage over their opponent. Those tricks may not be allowed per se, but are largely practised. The majority of the players mend the rules a bit according to their liking. But can someone go to an extent of deliberately hampering a rival’s performance?

In a recent interview, The Richard Childress Racing driver opened up about how NASCAR should penalize drivers for spinning someone out to win. He throws light on recently occurred Denny Hamlin‘s intentional wreckage incident. No matter how much Kyle believes in the driver’s punishment, he himself was guilty of the same deed once.

Kyle admits to spinning out his rival

Spinning your rival out for the lead is a sign of poor sportsmanship. If someone wins by deliberately wrecking another, then that is not a legitimate win. During the interview, Kyle was commenting on how NASCAR has not taken wreckage seriously which encourages young drivers to do the same.

Kyle Busch had a very strong take against spinning out a rival to win the race. However, he was once guilty of the same deed. Kyle admitted that he spun out a driver to take the lead while talking about punishing drivers. He believed that everyone, even him should be punished for spinning out another driver.

He said, “if we wanna do that then you know you get sent to the back, you get held a lap, like something.”

Even though Kyle admits his guilt and asks for stringent measures. NASCAR, he believes, seems to have taken things a bit lightly, not something one expects in motorsports. Kyle said while criticising the system, “there’s no repercussions for that right now.”  

The rules need to change

Rules once made are difficult to alter. But what good is the rule if it doesn’t serve the purpose? It’s pointless, right? The same is the thing with NASCAR’s guidelines. They have measures against the wreckage, but very few guidelines seem to be implemented.

Kyle advised that the driver be sent back to the last position on the grid or get held for a lap. He believed that the penalty should be exemplary. He said, “I think that would send a message. At least that’s a good starting point.”

The current situation of NASCAR against wreckage seems quite loose. In intense motorsports, this type of attitude could lead to a tragedy someday. Is the association waiting for a tragedy for the rules to change?
