NASCAR has boxed itself in with Dillon-Logano penalties

On Sunday night at Richmond International Raceway, Austin Dillon wrecked his way to a thrilling season-saving victory that returned him to the winner's circle for the first time in nearly two years and also earned a coveted spot in the NASCAR Playoffs ... until it didn't. On Wednesday, NASCAR announced that Dillon would keep the win but it would no longer count toward his postseason eligibility. The sanctioning body also suspended his spotter for three races and fined Joey Logano, one of Dillon's two in-race victims, $50,000 for angrily weaving through people on the postrace pit lane, on his way to express his displeasure to Dillon's crew.
