Overview
- NASCAR cited Section 4.4.B of the Member Code of Conduct in its weekly penalty report released Oct. 28.
- Haas Factory Team will not appeal the ruling, and Ryan Sieg will drive the No. 41 at Phoenix in what is set to be his 400th Xfinity start.
- Officials determined Mayer intentionally spun Burton in Turn 1 on the cooldown lap at Martinsville after multiple in-race run-ins.
- Senior competition executive Elton Sawyer said such actions are unacceptable and described a review process led by series director Eric Peterson.
- The suspension ends Mayer’s season early, keeps him out of championship weekend, and aligns with prior one-race penalties for post-race retaliation.
