NASCAR Star Drivers Criticize Crash-Filled Series Finale, Call for Crackdown on Reckless Racing

Top drivers like Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch raise concerns about poor track etiquette, multiple overtimes and increasing number of accidents; Corey Heim loses championship after being wrecked by Carson Hocevar.

NASCAR's top drivers, including Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch, criticized the Truck Series Finale as unprofessional and embarrassing, due to its chaotic nature and numerous crashes.
The race, which went 29 laps over the scheduled distance due to numerous accidents, saw Carson Hocevar causing a wreck that cost Corey Heim the championship.
The drivers are calling for NASCAR to enforce stiffer penalties for poor track etiquette such as deliberately causing wrecks, and are unsatisfied with the increasing levels of reckless racing in the sport.
Martin Truex Jr. claimed that young drivers are incentivized to race recklessly, as NASCAR seems to turn a blind eye to such behavior.
Kyle Busch, who sold his Truck Series team to Spire Motorsports last month, expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of respect among drivers, resulting in rampant equipment damage.
