A driver gets an automatic berth to the 16-driver playoff field with the triumph (so long as there may not be much more than 16 champions during the course of the period), but NASCAR revoked that berth under a rule that states the gain must be actually unencumbered through offenses of NASCAR rules or even activities detrimental to NASCAR.A three-member NASCAR-appointed beauties board denied RCR's 1st beauty Aug. 20 as well as NASCAR's final beauty police officer also supported the NASCAR choice Aug. 25.

If you use an automobile span-- two-and-three-quarters was actually specifically just how far back he was actually [of Logano], and the other automobile slows down 3 kilometers an hour on the final tour, you're visiting slam in a little bit of to receive [him] up the race course. Is that over today?" What is actually free throw line? And afterwards if you go to competing somebody off the corner and they obtain loosened [as Hamlin did] and enter you, at that point performs that indicate you're out of the Chase? That's all I got to state regarding the judgment. However it has actually transformed competing for a gain without a doubt."
