NASCAR Revokes Dillon's Playoff Berth After Win
News summary

NASCAR has revoked Austin Dillon's automatic playoff berth following his controversial victory at the Richmond Raceway, citing actions detrimental to stock car auto racing. Dillon won the race by causing wrecks involving Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin on the final lap, which NASCAR deemed crossed the line of acceptable racing conduct. Despite keeping the win, Dillon and his Richard Childress Racing No. 3 team were docked 25 points, and his spotter, Brandon Benesch, was suspended for three races. Joey Logano was fined $50,000 for unsafe post-race actions on pit road. Dillon can still qualify for the playoffs by winning one of the remaining three races. The decision underscores NASCAR's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the sport.
