Dale Earnhardt Jr. has big issue with NASCAR over penalties for Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski…

During the latest episode of the Dale Jr. Download, the NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductee ripped into NASCAR for the decision to penalize the two former champions, disagreeing with the call wholeheartedly for a myriad of reasons.

“There were a couple of things that, if I wanted to criticize NASCAR, there were a couple of penalties, and I think Brad and Chase Elliott received these penalties,” Earnhardt Jr. began. “So, when you exit pit road, you’re on the run-off lane. It’s this little strip of asphalt that’s separated from the race track. But right in between Turn 1 and Turn 2, it’s connected to the racing surface. A lot of drivers swing out, crossing a couple white lines, to get a good angle of attack on this run-off, this exit lane, through Turn 2, so they could accelerate down the back straightaway. So, this is a really common move. Very common. Some drivers are more aggressive than others, in terms of how far they swing out, but it’s never been a topic of conversation.
