Roger Penske's Star Publicly Trashes NASCAR's Double Standards After Bristol Brawl

Joey Logano’s win at Bristol briefly disappeared behind a pit-road brawl between Carson Hocevar and Ryan Blaney, and the incident is now drawing scrutiny from outside NASCAR circles. Following the melee, Penske IndyCar driver Scott McLaughlin posted on X that NASCAR could “replay the fight all week” to boost social media numbers, then fine both drivers at the end of the week—pointing to perceived inconsistencies. The fight began after Lap 458 when Blaney’s No. 12 blocked Hocevar into the frontstretch; Hocevar spun Blaney into the wall, ending his day. Hocevar finished third, then a second scuffle included punches before officials separated them.
