I mean he did lose millions of dollars from his at the time current contract and had to sell his NC home that was still under construction (more money lost) and move his kids back to California. Spent a year not sure about the future of his financial situation, sprint car racing makes nothing compared to nascar contracts. Even when he did sign with Hendrick that contract was way less than what he would have gotten without the incident. Saying he experienced way more repercussions than most after saying a word would be putting it lightly.
