NASCAR to investigate multiple teams for Martinsville finish

NASCAR officials will look further into the on-track actions of multiple competitors Sunday night in the NASCAR Cup Series’ Round of 8 finale at Martinsville Speedway.

The No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet piloted by Ross Chastain, the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet driven by Austin Dillon and the No. 23 Toyota of 23XI Racing wheeled by Bubba Wallace all fall under scrutiny for how they raced in the closing laps of Sunday’s Xfinity 500.

NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition Elton Sawyer said Sunday the officials’ immediate focus in the moment centered around Christopher Bell’s wall ride in the final corner, but said he anticipated a deeper examination lied ahead once clear of Sunday’s event.
