CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Kaulig Racing-Hendrick Motorsports-NASCAR saga came to a resolution on Tuesday — but NASCAR made a certain point abundantly clear:
This shouldn’t happen again.
Final appeals officer Bill Mullis announced that Kaulig Racing, which was found guilty of modifying a single-source supplied part, would have all of the points it lost restored. The decision was made “in the interest of fairness.” After all, this no-points-penalty sentence is the same one Hendrick Motorsports served when it was caught with the same infraction.
