Kevin Harvick said during Sunday's prerace show that NASCAR should have suspended Austin Cindric following last week's race at COTA.

Ahead of the Shriners Children’s 500, Kevin Harvick became the latest entity to weigh in on the Austin Cindric penalty fiasco. During the pre-race show on Fox Sports, Harvick lashed out at NASCAR for practicing leniency with their penalty and claimed that a race suspension should also have been handed to the No.

This past week was a big one on the NASCAR Cup Series penalty front. Chase Briscoe won his appeal and regained his points for a post-race penalty received at Daytona. Conversely, Austin Cindric was docked 50 points and fined $50,000 for hooking Ty Dillon at Circuit of the Americas.

Austin Cindric's $50K penalty has become a hot topic in NASCAR's ongoing debate over regulations, now drawing reactions from Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin.

Ty Dillon is glad NASCAR penalized Austin Cindric for turning him last weekend at Circuit of the Americas, but was surprised that Cindric was not suspended. Dillon wasn’t the only driver surprised by NASCAR’s penalty to Cindric.
