Everything You Need to Know for the Sunday Cup Race at Atlanta

The NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway is set to take place on Sunday, with Chevrolet drivers having won all four races this season. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin has decided to appeal his $50,000 fine and 25-point penalty for intentionally wrecking Ross Chastain on the last lap of the race at Phoenix Raceway. Hendrick Motorsports' Chad Knaus has also responded to the penalties levied against the organization for issues with its hood louvers, putting the onus on NASCAR and single-source suppliers.

NASCAR Penalties and Public Perception: A Complex Relationship.

Hendrick Motorsports was hit with the largest fine in NASCAR history and had four crew chiefs suspended after NASCAR confiscated hood louvers from all four of their machines. Chad Knaus, a crew chief for Hendrick Motorsports, stated that the penalty was an unfortunate situation and that the teams are being held accountable for putting their cars out there to go through inspection and perform at the level they need to, but nobody is holding the single-source providers accountable at the level they need to be to give them the parts they need. Both Hendrick Motorsports and Kaulig Racing have elected to appeal the penalty.

Hendrick Motorsports faces penalty over hood louver dispute.

Hendrick Motorsports' vice president of competition, Chad Knaus, explained that the team only modified the hood louvers to make them fit and that teams are not being given single-sourced supplied parts with correct specifications. NASCAR confiscated the hood louvers from all four cars the Friday of Phoenix weekend, and the teams were penalized earlier this week. Hendrick Motorsports did not request a deferral of the suspensions, and all four crew chiefs are not at the track this weekend.
