Noah Gragson was penalized after Saturday’s Xfinity Series Road America race. No penalty was given during the race, but later on, he was called up by the competition officials. Soon, rumors started to float about a possible penalty against Gragson, who was held responsible for a multi-car wreck during Saturday’s race.

Officials fined him $35,000 and also stripped him of 30 driver standing points and a further 30 from the team owner points.

The AMR Saftey Crew rushed to the spot after the crash at Road America during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. They spotted Brandon Brown sitting up against the wall while he seemed to be in discomfort. Noah Gragson and Sage Karam were seen jostling for position. Sage made contact with Noah, allowing Ty Gibbs to overtake both of them. This, in turn, seemed to have made Karam frustrated as he was pushed off track.

Further down the track, Noah on the outside scrapped paint once again with Sage, causing Noah to momentarily leave the track on two wheels. Then suddenly Noah seemed to have aggressively darted his car to the right, causing both cars to slide off track. Other cars behind them got caught up in the initial tug and the track ended up littered with debris and several damaged cars.
