NASCAR Faces Backlash Over Inconsistent Damage Vehicle Policy

Controversy erupts after NASCAR's handling of a massive crash at Talladega, prompting plans to revise the Damage Vehicle Policy.

NASCAR's inconsistent application of the Damage Vehicle Policy (DVP) has sparked criticism following a 28-car crash at Talladega.
Kevin Harvick and other critics argue that the decisions on which cars to tow were inconsistent and affected race outcomes and points.
Elton Sawyer, NASCAR's Vice President of Competition, acknowledged the issue and announced a deeper review of the DVP in the offseason.
Critics claim that the policy has been applied inconsistently, with some drivers allowed to continue racing while others were not, leading to accusations of favoritism.
NASCAR plans to give teams more control over decisions about whether damaged cars can continue racing, addressing concerns about fairness and consistency.
