Elton Sawyer, Senior VP of Competition, spoke to the media and said he would look into Logano’s actions and see if he would be punished.
“Yeah, we’ll take, you know, we don’t want to make a split-second decision and get it wrong. So we want to make sure we go back and we’ll look at everything that happened on the last lap and post-race and see if any penalties need to be issued.”
More from Elton Sawyer on whether Joey Logano will be penalized for his actions on pit road after the race and also whether considering there was no initial penalty, NASCAR views that Austin Dillon didn't anything that crossed the line. pic.twitter.com/kYzVtyZdHi
