A chauffeur makes an automated berth to the 16-driver playoff area along with the success (so long as there aren’t much more than 16 winners throughout the time), but NASCAR revoked that berth under a regulation that says the win need to be unencumbered through transgressions of NASCAR regulations or even activities detrimental to NASCAR.A three-member NASCAR-appointed beauties panel refuted RCR’s very first charm Aug.
