NASCAR’s Elton Sawyer did not expect blend line infractions by Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski after providing more information.

Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski received blend line penalties during the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. On Tuesday, NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Elton Sawyer discussed the penalties on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, stating that NASCAR sent additional information to competitors “to help clarify any confusion that may have come out of the videos that at no point could you go up on the racing surface.” “So we felt that we were in a pretty good place,” Sawyer told Dustin Long of NBC Sports. “Obviously, communication is something we take pride in, and we want to ensure that our teams and drivers, as well as our fans, understand any nuances, if you will, around a particular site that is unusual. We didn’t get.

Take the two days (Xfinity and Cup race) of green flag pit stops; I believe there were 77 altogether, 76 of which were in the Cup race, and all but two got them correct. We’ll do our full diligence to ensure that any future miscommunications are cleared up, as we usually do in such cases.” Elliott and Keselowski both showed their displeasure with the penalty. “I don’t understand, what’s the penalty for?” Keselowski enquired, via Davey Segal. “That’s not what the damn email said,” Keselowski said when the punishment was relayed to him. “I was not in the racing queue.” “That’s not right,” Elliott stated over the radio. “I followed exactly what the f***ing sheet said.

How Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski finished the Brickyard 400 On Sunday, Elliott ended in 10th place, while Keselowski finished 21st. Keselowski had a chance to win, but his No. 6 vehicle ran out of gas on the first overtime restart, giving Kyle Larson the victory. “I just asked. I believe we could have made it to the Turn 4 exit. Maybe I could have fought it off; maybe not. I do not know. Would have wanted to see. “Just one of those deals,” Keselowski told FOX’s Bob Pockrass after the race. “You know, we have top-10 speed. We are not dominant, but we are highly competitive. You’re just trying to put yourself in a position where something nice will happen to you, both here.
