Additionally, the No. 13 Cup Series team of Ty Dillon violated Sections 10.9.10.4 (Tires and Wheels) of the NASCAR Rule Book (Note: Lug nut(s) not properly installed). As a result, crew chief Robert "Bootie" Barker has been fined $10,000.
NASCAR also announced the indefinite suspension of crew member Joseph P. Light for violating Sections 12.1; 19 of the NASCAR Rule Book.
NO PENALTIES FOR TEAMS OF BUSCH, LOGANO
Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and their respective crews will not face punishment for their post-race actions following Sunday's Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Following contact on the final lap while both were running in the top five, Busch's No. 18 Toyota spun across the start/finish line to a 22nd-place finish. Busch and Logano were involved in a heated confrontation post-race on pit road. Crew members from the No. 18 (Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing team) and the No. 22 (Logano's Team Penske team) quickly got involved before being separated by NASCAR officials.
"After a full review of multiple videos and discussions with both competitors and their respective race teams, we felt Sunday's post-race incident does not warrant any further action," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. "NASCAR was built on the racing that took place on the final lap by two drivers battling for position. The emotions of our athletes run high, and Kyle Busch and Joey Logano are two of the most passionate and competitive drivers in the sport. Both competitors are very clear on our expectations going forward and we will be meeting with them in person prior to practice on Friday in Phoenix."
