NASCAR penalized Cole Custer and his team for attempting to help teammate Chase Briscoe gain positions on the final lap of Sunday’s Cup playoff race by impeding other competitors.

NASCAR fined Custer $100,000 and docked him 50 points. Crew chief Michael Shiplett has been indefinitely suspended and fined $100,000.

Stewart-Haas Racing was penalized 50 owner points for the No. 41 car. Stewart-Haas Racing will appeal the penalty. At issue was Custer dramatically slowing on the backstretch of the final lap as Briscoe battled for position behind him.
