A motorist gains an automated berth to the 16-driver playoff industry with the triumph (as long as there aren't more than 16 champions throughout the season), but NASCAR revoked that berth under a rule that mentions the win have to be actually unencumbered through infractions of NASCAR policies or activities damaging to NASCAR.A three-member NASCAR-appointed beauties panel denied RCR's 1st charm Aug. 20 and also NASCAR's last charm policeman likewise maintained the NASCAR decision Aug. 25.

The motorists currently, they know where a product line is actually, or they assume they carry out," Childress mentioned. "They don't. If you go in a cars and truck duration-- two-and-three-quarters was exactly just how far back he was actually [of Logano], as well as the other car decelerates 3 kilometers a hr on the last lap, you are actually heading to bump in a little to get [him] up the race course. Is actually that over today?" What is the line? And afterwards if you visit racing someone off the edge and they receive loosened [as Hamlin carried out] and also get involved in you, after that does that imply you run out the Chase? That's all I reached claim regarding the ruling. But it has altered dashing for a gain for certain."
