NASCAR's Mike Forde has responded to Denny Hamlin's claims that the proposed All-Star "Run What Ya Brung" feature would have cost the teams roughly $2 million.

Denny Hamlin said on Monday’s “Actions Detrimental” podcast that it would cost teams $2 million to take part in NASCAR‘s proposed “Run What You Brung” rules package for next month’s All-Star Racce at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Last week, NASCAR announced the new format for the All Star race, including an extension to 250 laps and the addition of a promoter’s caution flag. Shortly after the announcement, rumors circulated that NASCAR had actually proposed adding another element to the race that fans have wanted for years.
