NASCAR faced several questions following the contentious Martinsville finish, which forced race control to decide who would advance into the Championship 4.
NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Elton Sawyer visited the Media Center at Martinsville to clear the air over their decision to remove Christopher Bell from the Championship 4. Bell appeared to ride the wall, which was banned following Ross Chastain's dramatic wall-ride into the Championship 4 during the 2022 season.
When you really just dissect exactly what happened, look at the situation with the 20 getting up against the fence, then riding the fence, which we clearly stated in our statement after Ross did that, that that would not be accepted.' He did not commit to saying that more penalties could be possible, only adding: 'We'll look at it.' No appeal allowed NASCAR will also not allow Joe Gibbs Racing to protest the decision.
