France doesn’t think its possible to define the policy, which went into effect at the start of last season as NASCAR’s attempt to let drivers show more emotion on and off the track. But he believes NASCAR’s competitors are smart enough to know what the sanctioning body won’t permit.
“It shouldn’t be a big surprise for anyone to try to read us and how we are going to officiate the events,” France said Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“The drivers know us well enough to understand and they certainly have conversations (with us) and we’ll be happy to reiterate our situation. But there is still going to be subjectivity. There is no set of eight things we’re going to be looking at because that would be impossible. It’s not practical.”
But the ambiguity is befuddling drivers, including Harvick.
“I’m still confused whether I am on probation or not on probation so I can’t answer that,” he said Friday. “I don’t really know. I’m just going to go race and see what happens.”
Shortly after his comments, Harvick reported to the NASCAR hauler for a meeting officials said had been scheduled before his comments.
