NASCAR says Custer guilty of blocking rivals to help Stewart-Haas teammate Chase Briscoe advance in Cup Playoffs.
On the last lap, on the backstretch, Austin Dillon, Erik Jones, and Briscoe were racing for position. . As they came up behind Custer’s car, Custer slowed dramatically and interfered with Dillon’s line. When Dillon was forced to slow entering the backstretch chicane, Briscoe went to the inside and passed Custer, Dillon, and Jones, gaining three positions and more points.
That section also states that, “Any Competitor who takes action with the intent to Artificially Alter the finishing positions of the Event or encourages, persuades or induces others to Artificially Alter the finishing positions of the Event shall be subject to a penalty from NASCAR. NASCAR considered removing Briscoe from the Playoffs, but found no evidence he played any role in Custer’s actions. Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice president of competition, said two factors kept Briscoe in the playoffs: 1) he was already in a position to advance to the Round of 8 before Custer interfered, and 2) no incriminating evidence was discovered on Briscoe’s team radio to suggest his team was aware of Custer’s intentions.
