Controversy and Chaos Mark Martinsville NASCAR Finale
In a controversial NASCAR race at Martinsville, radio communications revealed manufacturer loyalty influencing the outcome as Chevy and Toyota teams maneuvered to secure a Championship 4 spot. Austin Dillon and Ross Chastain, both in Chevrolets, acted to protect William Byron's position, while Bubba Wallace's Toyota slowed to aid Christopher Bell. Despite Bell's last-lap wall ride, NASCAR disqualified him for a safety violation, reinstating Byron. NASCAR plans to review the radio chatter, potentially leading to penalties for involved teams.
