This year’s championship story for Denny Hamlin has an extra twist that’s making some fans nervous. While Hamlin is fighting for his first NASCAR Cup Series title as a driver, he’s also the co-owner of 23XI Racing, a team that’s currently suing NASCAR. The lawsuit claims NASCAR’s charter system is unfair and gives the organization too much control. Because of this, some fans think Hamlin’s two roles could cause a conflict of interest or at least raise questions if any penalties happen during the race.
With NASCAR facing legal pressure and Hamlin involved both as a driver and a team owner, many people say the situation looks complicated. Even if NASCAR officials make every call fairly, some might still accuse the sport of favoritism. NASCAR has strongly denied any idea of bias or wrongdoin
