a member conduct violation is a wide-ranging category that can be anything from on an-track/off-track physical confrontation, threat, etc with driver/crew member/NASCAR official to a disparaging discriminatory statement to an arrest of something that NASCAR considers significant. https://t.co/V8YT0XmeQB
