Main Body
Driver Chase Briscoe says the rules are bad. He says drivers lie to avoid fines. For example, Ryan Preece paid $50,000 because he said he hit another car on the radio. Other drivers hit cars too, but they did not pay money. NASCAR says they have no proof for those drivers.
車手 Chase Briscoe 表示規則很糟糕。他說車手會撒謊以避免罰款。例如，Ryan Preece 因為在無線電中承認撞到另一輛車，因此支付了 5 萬美元。其他車手也撞車，但卻不需要交錢。NASCAR 則表示他們沒有那些車手的證據。
NASCAR does not want to say a crash was on purpose. If they say it was on purpose, they might have legal problems. This is why they only punish drivers who admit it on the radio.
NASCAR 不想承認碰撞是故意的。如果他們承認是故意，可能會面臨法律問題。這就是為什麼他們只懲罰在無線電中承認的車手。
