Sure looked like Chastain and Dillon were blocking to keep a Chevy in the final 4.

NASCAR ruled Bells wall ride on last lap was illegal after they had banned it the season after Chastain did it. Currently NASCAR is investigating the 23 car slowing down on the last lap to allow Bell to pass him after a radio transmission was heard on the 23 car that Bell needed a point to get in. They are also investigating Chevy orders to the 1 car and 3 car indicating Byron couldn’t lose any more points on the track. They essentially blocked 3 other cars from passing Byron for the last 18 laps.
High Stakes if no Chevy makes the final.

Problem is Nascar has knowingly let manufacturers help their own on restrictor plate tracks. Did Chastain and Dillon do anything really different at Martinsville. Bubba definitely slowed to help a teammate which has been penalized before. Chase racing brings out the worst in the driver's and teams it will be the same at Pheonix this weekend.

Moody on Sirius XM said today that it’s not the same and made a good point. That would be like Byron leading the race at Talladega and Chevy cars lined up 2 deep and 4 wide across the track and never passing Byron. Essentially blocking. In plate racing you may have same manufacturer cars pushing each other but never blocking for 10-12 laps. It sounds like NASCAR is going to make an announcement on penalties this week. It could be huge insiders are saying. They took Bubbas car back to the research Center to see if there was something broke on it or a flat tire. With all the data onboard these cars and nascars access to radio transmissions through out the race I think there will be some gooses getting cooked. They are comparing it to the 2013 Michael Waltrip Spingate controversy that essentially cost him his sponsors and his race team.

What a comeback by the 7. How many times has that guy shot himself in the foot? Good to see him finally win a championship.

Yes well deserved. He made a helluva move in the first overtime. Childress teams were busy blocking Custer and he got them all

I don't think that was the case at all, the 21 was on 46 lap old left side tires and right side scuffs. Just couldn't hold his line and Custer got the short end of the stick when the 21 pushed up. Hill was also racing for a title, I seriously doubt he was blocking for the 7 lol

I'd rather the 12 had won, but congrats to the 22 team.
