NASCAR threatened disqualification for post -race landscaps

NASCAR has originally sent a warning not to drive the teams on the track, on dirt, to gain weight before a race after a race after a race after a clear attempt during cool down laps.

Ross Chastain and Shane Van Gisbergen were recognized for that strategy But Joy Logano on Sunday revealed to do it after the race at the World Wide Technology Raceway.

NASCAR Cup Series Management Director Brad Moran said that teams will receive a memorandum to discourage it this week And Mike Ford, managing director of communication, resonated that feeling on Wednesday ‘Hauler Talk‘ podcast.

“We didn’t care about it, not a bit,” Ford said. “We are just going to remind the teams, this is something where we really have a rule. I think we are going to give a little warning to (trackhouse). But there is a rule that says what they did – you can argue – a rule broke, and we can go ahead and move forward.”

Rule referred to by FordE will be 6421.B, where cars are considered under impound terms as soon as possible to take a checker flag and should not be replaced or adjusted in any manner on the cool down lap or pit road before reaching the inspection area.

The most logical interpretation, because it has a tremendous amount of historical predecessor, is that the drivers run into the grass in an attempt to gain additional weight so that they complete the minimum tolerance.

“This is something that we will trap in an important way,” Ford said. “Is it going to be an in-race penalty or an DQ, which is being determined after the incident. It depends on how clear the violation was. I don’t think we are really going to prepare a repercision outline because we are going to take it based on the case-by-case.”

Chastain and Van Gisbergen finished 24th and 25th respectively, but both are playoff drivers because it was necessary to undergo inspection. He left the second race up to 19 points above the first round and 15 points below the cutline respectively.

Note that Alex Boman was disqualified after the race on Charlotte Motor Speedway last year, which fails to weigh minimal weight, is a reflection of how close teams are cutting it. As a result of that disqualification, his eradication from the playoffs and the restoration of Joy Logano occurred in the 8 period.

“These teams are pushing it so close to the line on weight,” Ford said. “They know properly how to do mathematics where we give them 17-pound tolerance after the race. In Darlington, we measured each playoff car, and a pair of some cars that were almost failed and DQD were within a pound of being.”
