Don't get me wrong I agree it should be on the networks shoulders but the networks broadcast crew to driver transmissions,which means live tv hence the 5 second rule set by the FCC.Nascar itself has set the policy about inappropriate language.Basically what it comes down to is this:if the language gets broadcasted the team gets penalized.This is the modern era you can't use foul language even on crew to driver radio transmissions.
The 1 team violated the rule and the penalty should have been enforced. There's only one reason it wasn't...Nascar itself.Nascar does not want to be in an unfavorable position especially when it comes to the opinion of the majority of fans.Period.
This is a good read:
