NASCAR officials examining Sam Mayer’s actions following Xfinity race at Martinsville

Elton Sawyer, NASCAR senior vice president of competition, said Tuesday morning that series officials will further examine Sam Mayer wrecking Jeb Burton after the checkered flag in last weekend’s Xfinity race at Martinsville Speedway.

“Having (that) type of incident after the checkered flag, it’s just not something we’re going to tolerate,” Sawyer said Tuesday morning on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “We’ll get with our team today, discuss it and see what the next steps are.”

Any penalty could come later today.
