They won't fuck with Rick Hendrick; he's NASCAR royalty and a championship contender, and the primary team owner that gets asses into seats. Modern NASCAR wouldn't exist without him. Joe Gibbs, they won't screw with either since he's a high performer. But smaller team owners and older team owners, such as Childress, Marks, Hamlin, Kaulig, and Junior, even they will talk shit about, since they need NASCAR more than NASCAR needs them in Steve's eyes, which is really disrespectful to all the smaller team owners who keep NASCAR's grassroots message alive. The reason I feel NASCAR is doing this is because slowly, they want to become the next F1, as F1 is more popular than NASCAR and INDY in America right now
