Are we actually going to clean up NASCAR yet?

This was at least some of the penalties for the last race, to give you an indication:

Hendrick Motorsports got caught modifying a roof part which is standard-supplied and not to be modified.  As a result:
  • The 5 (Kyle Larson), the 9 (Chase Elliott, driven by Josh Berry), the 24 (William Byron), and the 48 (Alex Bowman) were all four Hendrick cars.
  • A fifth car, the 31 (Justin Haley), was also involved.
  • 100 driver's points
  • 100 owner's points
  • 10 playoff points
  • $100,000 fines and four-race suspensions for all the crew chiefs...
AT WHAT POINT DO WE JUST THROW TEAMS OFF THE GODDAMN TRACK???

Oh, and that's not the only penalty:
  • An aggressive-driving penalty was incurred by Denny Hamlin for intentionally wrecking another car -- $50,000 fine, 25 points.
  • Two crew members of the 10 (Aric Almarola) were banned two races for failing to properly secure a tire.
