Bubba Wallace,John Caldwell Austin Dillon and Ross Chastain were each fined $100,000 and docked 50 driver points by NASCAR on Tuesday for violating member conduct policies in Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway.

NASCAR conducted an investigation from the final laps and came to the conclusion that those three drivers violated sections 4.4.B&D: NASCAR Member Conduct of the Rule Book. Those sections include actions detrimental to stock car racing along with race manipulation.

The owners of each team — 23XI Racing (Wallace), Richard Childress Racing (Dillon) and Trackhouse Racing (Chastain) — were fined $100,000 and had 50 owner points taken away.

The crew chiefs and their respective spotters, along with team executives, will miss the 2024 season finale at Phoenix Raceway as a result of these violations.

All three racing teams said they would file appeals.

"We took and looked at the most recent penalty that we had written for an infraction, very similar, which was the 41 car a couple of years ago at the Roval," NASCAR senior vice president of competition Elton Sawyer said. "We felt like we wanted to ramp this one up and we did, we did that in a way that we included team leadership. And this one, something that we feel like that, you know, we want to get our point across that it's a responsibility of all of us, the team owners, the team leadership as well as ourselves here at NASCAR to uphold the integrity of our sport."
