By Rahul Ahluwalia Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share William Byron sits in his car before the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images) NASCAR has firmly shut the door on driver antics under caution-flag periods as well as bumping on pit-road after last weekend's AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500. The aftermath of the 500-mile-long race saw two drivers, namely Hendrick Motosport's William Byron and 23XI Racing's Kurt Busch substitute Ty Gibbs, receive hefty penalties after the race in Fort Worth, Texas ended. The two drivers were penalized for separate incidents during the race, with Byron facing the governing body's reprimand for spinning Denny Hamlin out in a late caution period. The #24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driver loses 25 driver and team points as a result along with a $50,000 fine. Byron drops from being 17 points above the cutoff for the Round of 8 to 10th on the list as he heads into the Yellawood 500 this Sunday. Hendrick Motorsports also indicated their plans on appealing the penalty earlier this week.
