NASCAR fined Joey Logano $50,000 for displaying his displeasure with Austin Dillon following Sunday's controversial finish at Richmond.
On the same day that NASCAR revoked Austin Dillon's automatic berth into the 16-driver NASCAR Cup Series playoff field, it also handed down a fine to Joey Logano for his postrace antics at Richmond on Sunday night. Logano was issued a $50,000 fine for smoking his tires as he drove by Dillon's crew and family on pit road following the race. He said he will not appeal the fine.
Logano displayed his displeasure with Dillon both in his car on pit road and later during his postrace interview. 'He can come from five car lengths back and completely wreck someone and then wreck another one to the line — and we're going to call that racing?' Logano said. Logano is currently locked into a playoff spot thanks to his win at Nashville in June. Full coverage of Richmond fallout: Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR for FOX Sports.
