A year later, Brad Keselowski has a new perspective on his Atlanta penalties in the NASCAR Cup Series. Drivers and teams should take note, but will they?
Brad Keselowski and RKF Racing had a great start to their 2022 season. That momentum changed on March 24, 2022, after the NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. NASCAR issued severe penalties to the RFK team for the modification to a single source part. Their driver and owner points were docked 100 points apiece with a ten playoff points deduction. The No. 6 crew chief Matt McCall was fined $100,000 and suspended from the next four points-paying races. The team appealed the penalties, but their appeal failed and the penalties were upheld. On Saturday, Keselowski spoke with the media and gave a new perspective on those penalties after a year of reflection.

Week four is now in the books and sets the stage for the NASCAR Cup Series Power Ranking after their race at Phoenix Raceway.
In November, Phoenix will host the NASCAR Cup Series championship race, where the series’ top drivers are contending for the 2023 championship. This past weekend, the series visited the same track for the United Rentals Work United 500, the fourth race of the regular season. It was another race dominated by Hendrick Motorsports, as Kyle Larson and William Byron were the class of the field for most of the day. Later on, Kevin Harvick nearly swooped in for the win, but a late caution gave Byron the edge to bring in his second straight victory. The headlines are on Hendrick now for a different reason, as Larson, Byron, and Alex Bowman were each docked 100 points for a parts violation, a penalty with massive implications. Even with the penalties, the Hendrick Byron and Larson duo cannot be denied their spots in these rankings.
