NASCAR has rescinded Austin Dillon’s automatic playoff spot after he was involved in two crashes during the final lap en route to winning the Cook Out 400 in Richmond, Virginia, Sunday night.

Dillon remains the official race winner but is stripped of his automatic playoff entry. Additionally, both he and the Richard Childress Racing No. 3 team will lose 25 points, a decision announced Wednesday.

During the race, Dillon collided with Joey Logano in the fourth turn on the last lap, sending Logano crashing into the wall. Dillon also made contact with Denny Hamlin, resulting in another crash before he crossed the finish line first, marking his first win in nearly two years.

NASCAR.com stated that Dillon’s automatic playoff entry was revoked in accordance with Section 12.3.2.1.b, which indicates that “Race finishes must be unencumbered by violation(s) of the NASCAR Rules or other action(s) detrimental to stock car auto racing or NASCAR as determined in the sole discretion of NASCAR.”

Brandon Benesch, the spotter for the No. 3 team, will face a three-race suspension after audibly instructing Dillon to “Wreck him.”

Richard Childress Racing expressed their “significant disappointment” with NASCAR’s penalty and intends to appeal the decision.

Joey Logano, upset with Dillon, described his actions as a “chicken (expletive) move.” He also faces penalties for his behavior on pit road following the race and has been fined $50,000.

With Dillon’s loss of the automatic playoff berth, the postseason field now has 12 competitors. He has slipped to 31st place in the overall standings due to the points penalty, but still has a chance to claim one of the four remaining playoff spots if he wins one of the next three races, starting with the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway this Sunday.

The playoffs are scheduled to begin on September 8 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
