Joey Logano expected to receive NASCAR penalty from Richmond in 2024

Joey Logano was in the prime position to win the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway after a strong restart in overtime but was taken out by Austin Dillon in Turn 3 on the final lap. Logano would go on to finish in 19th place and expressed his displeasure with Dillon after the event . However, the Team Penske driver is in trouble for his actions as well.

According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, the expectation is that Lgoano will receive a fine for smoking his tires near a group of people on pit road after the race at Richmond. When the incident occurred, Logano was near the No. 3 team and other NASCAR officials. A reasonable fine would be $50,000, which would be the same as previous safety violations within the last year.

NASCAR officials were very unhappy with the driver of the No. 22 car after the race at Richmond, and that is leading to what will likely be a hefty fine. As for Dillon, NASCAR is working through the process and will likely have an announcement on Tuesday or Wednesday. Either way, Logano is expected to receive a penalty for his actions.
