Before today’s Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix Raceway, Kevin Harvick weighed in on the Austin Cindric penalty from COTA. Cindric right rear hooked Ty Dillon and many in NASCAR think the Team Penske driver got off easy.

NASCAR's decision not to suspend Austin Cindric for his hit on Ty Dillon came down to it happening at a road course instead of an oval. Dillon warns that this is the exact type of gray area that gets NASCAR into trouble.

NASCAR took away 50 points from Austin Cindric and fined him $50K for intentionally spinning Ty Dillon in the Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas.

If you can't follow a precedent, trying to set one at all is a futile task. That's the predicament NASCAR finds itself in following their decision on Wednesday to not suspend Austin Cindric for right-hooking Ty Dillon.

Ty Dillon is glad NASCAR penalized Austin Cindric for turning him last weekend at Circuit of the Americas, but was surprised that Cindric was not suspended. Dillon wasn’t the only driver surprised by NASCAR’s penalty to Cindric.

Kevin Harvick said during Sunday's prerace show that NASCAR should have suspended Austin Cindric following last week's race at COTA.
