NASCAR considered suspending Dillon but decided against it.
Austin Dillon was also considered for suspension for his right-rear wheel failure, as were the other drivers, but Sawyer said “we felt that the disqualification penalty we imposed on the 3&3 owner was appropriate for what happened on Sunday night.”
