NASCAR LOGODAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 14, 2013) – NASCAR has announced a set of officiating revisions to further reinforce its in-race rules and regulations following a week-long review of events that transpired during last Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway.

NASCAR officials met with drivers, owners and crew chiefs this afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway to address these revisions that will take effect beginning with Sunday’s opening race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The revisions focus on assisting the competitors to understand what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in NASCAR’s sole determination when it comes to officiating teams’ racing during an event. NASCAR will issue a technical bulletin to the teams later this afternoon that outlines these revisions. Continue reading “NASCAR Announces Officiating Revisions After Richmond Scandals”

joey-logano-nascar-kansas-1-2013But wait, there’s more!

Joey Logano and David Gilland’s radio chatter is now being investigated by NASCAR from Richmond as well now to allow Joey to pass Gilliland and gain that all important 1 point needed to get into the Chase.  Although they are not teammates, they are both Ford’s and Joey did finish 1 spot ahead of David after the 38’s lap times dropped off by almost a second….hmmmmmm
