Chase Briscoe Penalty Overturned, Austin Cindric Penalized & NASCAR Sues 23XI Racing | Charlie Marlow · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  All right, we are live Charlie Marlowe here on the Kenny
• 0:03
  Wallace YouTube channel had to go live. 3 massive NASCAR news
• 0:09
  stories all breaking today. On Wednesday, you see in the
• 0:13
  headline Chase Briscoe penalty overturned, Austin Syndrich
• 0:18
  penalized, and also NASCAR sues 2311 racing.
• 0:23
  That is a counter suit. So let's break it all down here.
• 0:27
  I'll go quick. I'm sure Kenny Wallace is going
• 0:29
  to weigh in on this as well, but let's work backwards.
• 0:33
  Chase Briscoe, the penalty overturn, I'm going to go right
• 0:37
  to nascar.com. Here's the headline.
• 0:42
  Appeals panel overturns, L2 level penalty to the number 19
• 0:47
  team, of course of Chase Briscoe.
• 0:49
  Remember, this is going back to the Daytona 500 where Chase
• 0:54
  Briscoe was on the pole. So I'm just going to read a
• 0:58
  little bit from this article. The National Motorsports Appeals
• 1:01
  panel on Wednesday overturned the L2 level penalty levied
• 1:04
  against the Joe Gibbs Racing #19 team stemming from the season
• 1:09
  opening race at Daytona International Speedway.
• 1:13
  So this is Chase Briscoe, of course.
• 1:16
  OK. The spoiler base was found to be
• 1:19
  modified on the 19 car. The spoiler base is a single
• 1:24
  source part and cannot be modified.
• 1:26
  But in overturning the ruling, the three member panel
• 1:30
  determined. So here's the quote.
• 1:33
  The panel believes that the elongation of some of the holes
• 1:37
  on the number 19 cup car spoiler base is caused by the process of
• 1:43
  attaching that specific spoiler base to the rear deck and not
• 1:47
  modification of the single source part.
• 1:52
  OK, now remember now, Brisco initially, folks had a huge
• 1:57
  penalty, all right? He was docked 100 driver points,
• 2:02
  ten playoff points. JGR was fined $100,000 and
• 2:08
  deducted 100 owner points as well as ten playoff points.
• 2:12
  Crew chief James Small was suspended for four races.
• 2:16
  So all of that now is rescinded following this appeal.
• 2:21
  We have 116 people watching live.
• 2:24
  Appreciate that. So with the ruling overturned,
• 2:28
  Briscoe is now 15th in the Cup Series standings with 72 points
• 2:33
  earned this season. And then prior to the panel's
• 2:36
  decision, Briscoe was 40th in Cup standings.
• 2:41
  So Briscoe goes to X and he says biggest points day of my career.
• 2:46
  We're back. He posted it on social media and
• 2:49
  he says, quote, in all seriousness, thank you to NASCAR
• 2:52
  for giving us the option to show our evidence and huge thank you
• 2:56
  to everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing who put in countless hours to
• 2:59
  put everything together. The three member panel was
• 3:04
  comprised of Dixon Johnston, Hunter Nickel and Kathy Rice.
• 3:10
  All right, we also have a quote from Joe Gibbs Racing on this
• 3:16
  penalty being overturned. Joe Gibbs Racing quote, We
• 3:20
  appreciate the process NASCAR has in place that allowed us the
• 3:23
  opportunity to present our explanation of what led to the
• 3:26
  penalty issued to our number 19 team, team owner Joe Gibbs said
• 3:30
  in the statement. Quote, we are thankful for the
• 3:33
  consideration and ruling by the National Motorsports Appeals
• 3:36
  Panel. It is obviously great news for
• 3:39
  our nineteen team and everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing.
• 3:43
  We look forward to focusing on the remainder of our season
• 3:46
  starting this weekend in Phoenix.
• 3:48
  All right, so that's the first story.
• 3:51
  The appeals panel overturns the penalty issued to Chase Briscoe
• 3:56
  on the number 19 team from Daytona.
• 3:59
  That is story #1 but as I said, three massive NASCAR stories.
• 4:06
  Briscoe. You also have Austin Sindrick
• 4:08
  being penalized and then NASCAR countersuing 2311 racing and
• 4:13
  front row and Michael Jordan, all that.
• 4:14
  I'll get to that at the end here, but let's go to Austin
• 4:18
  Sindrich now. OK, so Austin Sindrich, this is
• 4:22
  stemming of course from CODA just over the weekend.
• 4:28
  So Sindrich penalized after CODA and also the number 5 Hendrick
• 4:34
  team that's Kyle Larson hit with suspensions.
• 4:38
  So Austin Sindrich, there was the incident with Ty Dillon in
• 4:43
  the Cup race Sunday at Circuit of the Americas also.
• 4:49
  So Kyle Larson's team had two pit crew suspensions after a
• 4:53
  lost wheel during the race. But the big story here is the
• 4:57
  Cindric penalty and the fact that he wasn't suspended.
• 5:01
  So this is the incident with Cindric, right?
• 5:06
  Rearing Ty Dillon of colleague OK, so Cindric loses 50 driver
• 5:13
  points. He was fined $50,000.
• 5:16
  So he's dropped from 11th to 35th in the standings.
• 5:21
  OK, NASCAR did not give him the one race suspension, something
• 5:25
  it did previously when drivers intentionally wrecked other
• 5:28
  vehicles like Bubba Wallace on Kyle Larson in 2022.
• 5:32
  If you remember that at Vegas and with Chase Elliott on Denny
• 5:35
  Hamlin 2023 at Charlotte. And I'm, I'm kind of
• 5:40
  paraphrasing, but also reading from thisnascar.com article, you
• 5:43
  guys can go to nascar.com as well.
• 5:45
  So M40, NASCAR managing director of racing communications, you
• 5:50
  got this new podcast, Hauler Talk, which is really
• 5:53
  interesting to hear the way they explain these penalties and
• 5:56
  overturning them and all that. So M40 says the reasoning
• 6:01
  Cindrick wasn't suspended, including the race, was being on
• 6:06
  a road course with lower speeds and tighter confines already and
• 6:10
  that the incident didn't lead to a caution flag.
• 6:12
  So the previous two incidents that led to those suspensions,
• 6:15
  that's what I was talking about with Bubba Wallace, 2022 Vegas
• 6:19
  and Chase Elliott, 2023 Charlotte.
• 6:22
  OK, Those suspensions occurred on one and a half mile
• 6:26
  speedways. OK.
• 6:28
  So let me just see if I get any more information on this.
• 6:31
  I'm just kind of floating around X and see what everybody's
• 6:34
  saying about this. OK, so this is this is M40
• 6:38
  again. This is exactly what he said on
• 6:40
  that podcast Hauler talk. All right, and thank you guys
• 6:43
  for joining us here. I've got 142 of you watching
• 6:47
  live and I appreciate that. And I'm sure Kenny Wallace is
• 6:49
  going to weigh in pretty soon. But Kelly Crandall, she
• 6:54
  transcribed the quote from Hauler talk.
• 6:57
  So here it is. Quote this is on the Austin
• 6:59
  Syndrich penalty. The reason we landed on a points
• 7:02
  and fine, we take every situation, every violation as
• 7:06
  its own unique incident. And I know probably fans don't
• 7:09
  love hearing that sentence and it's said a lot, but it's said
• 7:12
  because it has to be said. It's said because it's true.
• 7:16
  Sure, we do look at past instances to help inform us,
• 7:19
  educate ourselves on how we should handle each subsequent
• 7:21
  one, but each incident is very different, maybe not very
• 7:25
  different, but each is at least a little bit different and often
• 7:28
  times very different. In this case, we did feel it was
• 7:31
  significantly different than the previous two.
• 7:33
  Talking about course Bubble Walls and Chase Elliott, I've
• 7:36
  mentioned that several times and the reasons are you look at it,
• 7:40
  it is a road course with lower speed, tight confines to begin
• 7:43
  with and the result didn't even draw a caution.
• 7:46
  Now obviously the caution flag doesn't come out as quickly on
• 7:50
  road courses anyway, but that did not draw a caution.
• 7:53
  So those were really the reasons why we chose to err on the side
• 7:57
  of letting him race this weekend in Phoenix M40 on the Austin
• 8:03
  Syndrich penalty, why he was penalized, why he was not
• 8:06
  suspended for one race. All right, so I read you there
• 8:12
  discussed there the first two big stories Chase Briscoe his
• 8:17
  penalty at Daytona overturned and that freaking never happens.
• 8:22
  Austin Syndrich was penalized for his actions at CODA when he
• 8:27
  right reared Ty Dillon, but he will not be suspended a race did
• 8:31
  drop a ton in the standings in the point standings.
• 8:35
  All right and then the other story I'm working backwards.
• 8:39
  This one happened earlier in the day and basically it's the fact
• 8:43
  that NASCAR is now counter suing 2311 racing, front row
• 8:50
  Motorsports, the groups, the teams that are suing them, of
• 8:54
  course, for monopolistic practices.
• 8:57
  You've heard about this. It's been going on since what
• 9:00
  the last week of the season, I believe is when we heard news of
• 9:03
  this. So I'm going to go to Jeff
• 9:05
  Glock's ex. He's a teammate, right?
• 9:08
  Jeff Glock we're dirty MO media teammates Kenny Wallace and and
• 9:12
  everybody involved. So basically here's what's going
• 9:15
  on here. All right, OK.
• 9:20
  And I'll just read a couple of them.
• 9:21
  Jeff Glock posts on XA new 30 page court filing shows NASCAR
• 9:26
  has counter sued 2311 and front row.
• 9:30
  So 2311 Racing and Front Row Motorsports and named long time
• 9:34
  Michael Jordan business partner Curtis Polk as a defendant
• 9:37
  saying all three willfully. This is quote willfully violated
• 9:42
  the antitrust laws by orchestrating anti competitive
• 9:46
  collective conduct. OK, so we also have a statement
• 9:52
  from the attorney for 2311 racing in Front Row Motorsports.
• 9:57
  This is Jeffrey Kessler. He says, quote, today's
• 10:01
  counterclaim by NASCAR is a meritless distraction and a
• 10:04
  desperate attempt to shift attention away from its own
• 10:07
  unlawful monopolistic actions. NASCAR agreed to the joint
• 10:11
  negotiations that they now attack.
• 10:13
  When those joint negotiations failed, they used individual
• 10:16
  negotiations to impose their charter terms, which most of the
• 10:19
  teams decided they had no choice but to accept.
• 10:23
  My client's lawsuit has always been about transforming NASCAR
• 10:26
  into a more competitive and fair sport for the benefit of
• 10:29
  drivers, fans, sponsors and teams.
• 10:31
  Because of their love of the sport, every major sport goes
• 10:35
  through a transition to competition when antitrust
• 10:38
  claims are asserted, and that moment has come for NASCAR.
• 10:41
  Today's baseless filing changes nothing.
• 10:44
  We are confident in the strength of our case and look forward to
• 10:47
  presenting it at trial. Again, that is from 2311 Racing
• 10:51
  Front Row Motorsports attorney Jeffrey Kessler.
• 10:54
  That was posted by Jeff Gluck of the Athletic and Dirty MO Media,
• 10:58
  our teammate, he posted on X about three hours ago or so.
• 11:04
  I know Bob Pockras was also weighing in on this.
• 11:07
  Apparently, this has more to do with what's going to be
• 11:09
  happening in the offseason with a potential trial.
• 11:13
  So let me just find what Bob Progress tweeted about this and
• 11:20
  I will wrap it up. We won't go too long here,
• 11:22
  folks. I appreciate 163 of you watching
• 11:25
  big NASCAR Newsday, of course. So here we go.
• 11:32
  Here we go. Doo Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo
• 11:34
  Doo. Can you tell I'm stalling?
• 11:37
  Here we go. OK, so NASCAR is not asking for
• 11:41
  an immediate injunction as far as eliminating guaranteed
• 11:45
  starting spots for 2311 racing in Front Row Motorsports.
• 11:50
  OK, That would all be part of the trial in December if it gets
• 11:53
  there. That's what Bob Procras tweeted.
• 11:57
  OK, so NASCAR is asking for an injunction eliminating
• 12:01
  guaranteed starting spots for the charter teams.
• 12:04
  So basically saying like, if you're going to sue us, why do
• 12:07
  you have a guaranteed spot? But again, that would not impact
• 12:10
  this 2025 season. This is all moving forward 2026
• 12:15
  and we'll see what happens if there is actually a trial coming
• 12:18
  up in December. And Bob Pockras also posting, he
• 12:22
  says, because somebody else, this is this is what I like
• 12:26
  because I'm not a lawyer. I'm guessing a lot of you guys
• 12:29
  aren't lawyers. So somebody said to Bob Pockras,
• 12:32
  explain this to me like I'm five.
• 12:34
  And he says NASCAR alleges that the way Curtis Polk went about
• 12:38
  trying to organize a boycott during negotiations and other
• 12:42
  tactics and the team's trying to sue for better contract terms is
• 12:47
  a violation of antitrust law. So basically, they're both
• 12:50
  saying this is against antitrust, right?
• 12:54
  2311 racing, Front Row Motorsports, That's Michael
• 12:57
  Jordan. That's Denny Hamlin.
• 12:59
  What Bob Jenkins from Front Row Motorsports, they're suing
• 13:02
  NASCAR alleging monopolistic practices and then now here we
• 13:07
  are about what, 6-7 months later, whatever it is NASCAR
• 13:11
  with their counter suit that we have just discussed and it was
• 13:16
  it was announced today. I appreciate all you guys
• 13:19
  jumping on here. Let's see, I'll read a couple
• 13:21
  comments. Andy Barker says figures NASCAR,
• 13:27
  too bad they can't charge NASCAR with penalties.
• 13:31
  K2 says, hey, Charlie, thanks for the update.
• 13:33
  I'm not a reporter. I'm just kind of reading what's
• 13:35
  going on. So again, all the credit to Jeff
• 13:38
  Glock, Bob Pocras and the first couple stories.
• 13:41
  I was just taking it directly from nascar.com.
• 13:45
  Let's see, here we go. Go Fast.
• 13:50
  Racing 88 says they should treat everyone how they treated Bubba
• 13:53
  Wallace and Chase, no questions asked.
• 13:56
  Right? And that's why M40 went out of
• 13:57
  his way to explain why in their opinion, this one was different
• 14:01
  with Austin Syndrich being on a road course at CODA.
• 14:04
  No caution being thrown. That was their explanation.
• 14:07
  This is not my opinion. That was their explanation to
• 14:09
  why Austin Syndrich was not suspended a race and why Bubba
• 14:13
  Wallace and Chase were at the mile and a half tracks.
• 14:17
  Let's see, Douglas Paulson says they should not be penalized,
• 14:23
  penalizing based on the result, but simply the action.
• 14:27
  Jamie Williams says hi. Well, hi, Jamie, how you doing?
• 14:31
  Boom, There you go. I didn't leave it up there long
• 14:33
  enough. Let's see, we got to go fast
• 14:37
  racing again. The rule book should always be
• 14:40
  the same. If I right hook a guy at my
• 14:41
  local track, I get kicked out. So the next week if someone does
• 14:45
  it, they also should be kicked out.
• 14:46
  I get that. All right.
• 14:50
  People are alleging Rodger sent NASCAR a big fat check for no
• 14:56
  penalty. You always got to love the
• 14:58
  conspiracy theories. We love it.
• 15:00
  It's fun. Come on.
• 15:03
  It's part of it. Who's your daddy?
• 15:05
  Says they make up rules of rules as they go.
• 15:09
  I understand why people think that way as well, especially
• 15:12
  with the what? The cutting of the turns during
• 15:15
  CODA, which they basically kind of they basically switched that
• 15:19
  on the fly this past weekend at CODA.
• 15:22
  Let's see, Old Hickory. Andy Jackson says all these
• 15:27
  young bucks ain't drivers. Kale Yarborough was There you
• 15:30
  go. Center Hill card says, hey
• 15:32
  Charlie, well, how you doing? OK, JWC 9/24, I don't know what
• 15:40
  else 2311 racing wants. NASCAR is making sure they're
• 15:43
  there every week guaranteed, and they get their share.
• 15:45
  No one is forcing them to put cars out every week.
• 15:50
  Let's see, we got Lulap. NASLA.
• 15:54
  It's an open book with plenty of extra pages.
• 15:57
  The NASCAR rule book. Get one at your local bookstore.
• 16:00
  How about that? Tim Ferguson says probably 5
• 16:04
  years from now NASCAR will just distribute completely ready to
• 16:08
  race cars and tell the drivers to hop in.
• 16:10
  How about that? Let's see Donald Ulrich.
• 16:14
  What 2311 did was like the guys in the playground getting
• 16:18
  together and going after the bully.
• 16:20
  In this case, Donald thinks the bully is NASCAR and 2311 rallied
• 16:25
  the troops to the front row to go after him.
• 16:28
  All right, Griswold says go. Todd Gilligan.
• 16:32
  Todd Gilland and front row All right, I'll tell you what I
• 16:35
  said. I wasn't go very long.
• 16:36
  I appreciate all you guys watching big news stories you
• 16:40
  see in the title. Chase Briscoe penalty overturned
• 16:43
  at Daytona. He's all good.
• 16:45
  Austin Syndrich was penalized but not suspended for a race.
• 16:49
  He just drops big time in the standings.
• 16:52
  And also NASCAR counter suing 2311 Racing and Front Row
• 16:56
  Motorsports for basically what not monopolistic actions.
• 17:02
  I got to get the the perfect word here, OK, Because I don't
• 17:06
  want to, I don't want to speak out of school here.
• 17:09
  Monopolistic practices is what 2311 Racing and Front Row
• 17:13
  Motorsports are accusing NASCAR of.
• 17:15
  They're basically saying that Front Row and 2311 engaged in
• 17:24
  what? Let's see, practices that are a
• 17:28
  violation of antitrust law by organizing the boycott during
• 17:32
  negotiations and other tactics and the team's trying to sue for
• 17:35
  better contract terms in their opinion, NASCAR's that is a
• 17:40
  violation of antitrust law. So this whole deal to he said
• 17:42
  she said antitrust case. I'm no lawyer.
• 17:46
  I have no idea what's going on. Hopefully we don't talk about
• 17:49
  this a ton during the season and there could be a trial coming up
• 17:52
  in December. All right, thank you, everybody.
• 17:54
  Please comment like subscribe. As I said, I'm sure Kenny
• 17:57
  Wallace will be weighing in on all these topics.
• 18:00
  Charlie Marlowe signing off. Thanks for watching.
• 18:03
  We'll see you guys later.
