Richard Childress Racing Accused of Threatening to Sabotage Own Driver

Richard Childress and company didn't have a good weekend at Martinsville, with Xfinity Series drivers Sheldon Creed and Austin Hill taking each other out on the final lap, both of them failing to advance to the Championship 4 race at Phoenix. The longtime NASCAR team owner wasn't happy after the race and made it clear he thought Creed was responsible for it all.

This week, some wondered if the owner might be vindictive and park the No. 2 driver from racing in the season finale at Phoenix. Denny Hamlin talked about that very question this week on his podcast and made a shocking accusation detailing the lengths Childress would go to get back at one of his drivers, including offering a specific example of how he threatened one driver with sabotage.
