Carson Hocevar was fined $50,000 and docked 25 points for spinning Harrison Burton under caution at Nashville. Hocevar has a history of questionable moves on the track, but does the punishment fit the crime in this case?
Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports and Motorsport.com's Jim Utter join Brett McMillan to discuss Hocevar's penalty and debate why NASCAR didn't penalize Hocevar during the Ally 400. Plus, our panel gets into the weeds when it comes to race control's penalties.
Jim agrees the penalty is in line with how NASCAR's handled similar incidents in the past, but he's not sure how race control can justify not reacting to Hocevar spinning Burton during the race, especially in light of Layne Riggs being penalized for rough driving during the Truck Series race on Friday.
