Everybody makes mistakes, but when you are a NASCAR official or executive, there is no room for error. Here’s taking a look back at some of NASCAR’s not-so-great decisions of 2022.
The Next Gen cars sparked concerns about safety as drivers like Kurt Busch and Alex Bowman suffered from injuries that could have been avoided had NASCAR been swift with testing.
In an attempt to make the race entertaining, NASCAR threw in a last-minute unnecessary caution flag, which would have caused a PR disaster had there been an accident.
The delay in wavering the yellow flag as it rained in Daytona resulted in a multi-car crash that cost teams a lot of money when all of this could have been avoided with timely action.
