Sad News: Nascar Driver die in a Car Crash minutes ago……
In an Instagram story Friday night, Patrick shared a news story about Fauci losing the security detail with a quote from Trump, adding the caption “Damn right.”
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) requested security for Fauci in 2020 to protect him from threats he received as the top health official and public spokesperson during the COVID-19 pandemic. But that detail was pulled Thursday night.
“I think, you know, when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off and, you know, you can’t have them forever,” Trump said of the decision.
“We took some off other people, too, but you can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you work for government.”
The biggest message among NASCAR’s rules changes last week was this: Don’t egregiously dump another driver on purpose or the consequences could derail your season.
NASCAR didn’t say that outright but its new waiver rules certainly indicate it.
NASCAR announced that any waiver to remain playoff eligible while missing a race was issued for a driver absence for non-medical (or family emergency) reasons would result in a driver forfeiting all playoff points earned during the regular season.
That means a driver who advances to the playoffs would have their points reset to 2000 with no playoff points added. If the driver makes it to the next round, it would be 3000 plus only playoff points earned in the previous round.
That’s a big hit for a moment of indiscretion if a driver does something so egregious on the track (or potentially off the track) that NASCAR feels it must bench the driver.
This will require NASCAR to treat these situations with a little more nuance as a suspension now carries more weight than in the past.
And it needed to. Should it devastate a driver’s championship chances? Possibly. This will be a good test to see if it will deter any driver from hooking another on the racetrack.
