What justification could there be for keeping the drivers’ identities private?
Christie makes two very good points on this subject. First, he notes that if the drivers identities were made public right off the bat, news outlets would have pulled out what they think are the quotes/actions that got the drivers fined, and they would replay them over and over and over. That would only serve to increase the harm cause by their statements. So, they tried to keep them quiet. The second reason for keeping them quiet, Christie says, is that unlike failed drug tests or illegal parts, they do not affect the racing on the track. When penalties are assessed, NASCAR has to publicize them to explain why a driver is suspended or why they were docked points. With fines for making disparaging remarks, there isn’t usually a penalty beyond the fine, therefore it’s not as imperative that NASCAR divulge that information.
