NASCAR Senior VP Hints At Austin Dillon Investigation After Controversial Richmond Win

Elton Sawyer of NASCAR hints at a potential review of Austin Dillon's contentious victory at the Cook Out 400.

Austin Dillon claimed a contentious victory in his No. 3 Chevrolet at the NASCAR Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. The race concluded dramatically when Dillon collided with Joey Logano on the final lap, causing Logano to spin out and enabling Dillon to secure an overtime win. This marks Dillon's first win since his victory at Daytona on August 28, 2022, effectively reigniting his playoff hopes despite a challenging season with only two top-10 finishes so far.

Sawyer's contemplation of a precedent-setting review hints at potential shifts in NASCAR's policy towards race-related controversies, suggesting stricter scrutiny and possible consequences for similar incidents in the future.
