Dillon is also docked 25 points to pour salt into the wounds.

Logano meanwhile got fined $50k for driving through the celebrating #3 crew on pit road with screeching tires and a very broken race car.

Dillon's spotter got banhammered for 3 races for calling out for Dillon to "wreck him" when Hamlin tried to get past out of turn 4.

Funny how Denny Hamlin is the only one with his paws clean after this race.

Everybody wins on that one.

I think the message here is that you're generally free to quite intentionally wreck somebody to win a race, but if it's two separate intentional wrecks in the span of a few seconds, then you've crossed a line. Either that or if you're a back-ender (wrecking stars, as opposed to other back-enders), you get less leeway on wrecking people to win a race.

Whatever the message is, it illustrates that NASCAR is absurdly inconsistent with rules interps and punishment. But we already knew that.
