NASCAR has suspended nine Cup Series team members for manipulating the race finish at Martinsville Speedway. Crew chiefs, spotters, and team executives from Trackhouse Racing, Richard Childress Racing, and 23XI Racing are affected. They are suspended from Phoenix Raceway’s finale this weekend, fined $100,000, and docked 50 points each. Notable suspensions include Phil Surgen, Tony Lunders, and Bootie Barker. The teams plan to appeal the penalties, with additional penalties for crew members Josh Sobecki and Michael Russell from Richard Childress Racing for the next two races.
