NASCAR says last lap caution at Indianapolis was the correct call

Chase Elliott finished 10th in the 2024 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but it was an up-and-down day. Elliott was in the top 3 spots in Stage 1 and committed a blend line violation. The driver of the No. 9 car was black-flagged and forced to have a drive-through on pit road. Elliott was less than pleased and blew up on the radio to his No. 9 team.
Elliott didn’t think he committed a penalty, but NASCAR didn’t give in to the No. 9 team. The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion laid into the sport, saying he did exactly what the sheet stated. It was one of Elliott’s most fiery radio communications in recent years, as the Brickyard 400 featured little passing and a need for track position.

NASCAR has finished its only date at Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the 2024 season, as Kyle Larson won the Brickyard 400 for his third Crown Jewel victory. Larson was all good with inspections; however, three penalties are coming from the weekend in Indianapolis. All three of the penalties are relatively the same in the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series.
Austin Hill’s crew chief Andy Street was fined $5,000 after one lug nut was found not safe and secure on the No. 21 Richard Childress Racing car after the Xfinity Series event. Street’s fine was the biggest of the weekend in Indianapolis, as the Truck Series had two smaller penalties for lug nuts. The penalties come from McAnally-Hilgemann Racing and Young’s Motorsports.
Daniel Dye’s crew chief, Blake Bainbridge, and Thad Moffitt’s crew chief, Tyler Young, were fined $2,500 for one unsecured lug nut after the Truck Series event. None of these penalties are massive after several weeks of NASCAR debating big violations. Now, everyone can focus on the Olympic break as NASCAR returns in over two weeks.
