NASCAR makes the right call with Austin Dillon penalty

USA TODAY Sports Media Group

Joey Logano will be leaving Richmond Raceway with less money in his pockets On Wednesday afternoon, NASCAR announced that Logano has been fined $50,000 for his actions on pit road after the event. The No. 22 car sped up to the No. 3 crew and smoked his tires, putting the safety of NASCAR officials and others at risk.
This is the third time since the start of 2023 that NASCAR has laid down a $50,000 fine for safety-related issues. Daniel Suarez received the fine at Circuit of the Americas in 2023, while Bubba Wallace received it at the Chicago Street Coursre in 2024. Logano’s arguably rose to higher safety concerns, but NASCAR stayed consistent with its penalties.
Unlike Austin Dillon and Richard Childress Racing, Logano and Team Penske will not lose any points over the situation. Dillon was stripped of his automatic playoff berth while he and the team lost 25 points. Logano will now look to put this in the past and earn his second win of the 2024 NASCAR season at Michigan International Speedway this weekend.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
