NASCAR Poll: Should Daniel Suarez be penalized for post-race actions at COTA?
With NASCAR's precedent of handing out penalties this year, one has to wonder, is Daniel Suarez next? And should he be?
As of early Wednesday afternoon, no word on the topic had come down but certainly, Suarez's post-race antics after a frustrating finish at Circuit of the Americas on Sunday had to be on the organization's radar.
In the hours after Tyler Reddick prevailed in a third overtime start, a video surfaced on YouTube depicting Suarez driving through teammate Ross Chastain and then getting to the back bumper of Alex Bowman as the two got onto pit road.
Bowman made contact with Suarez on a late restart attempt after being bumped by Chastain who was bumped by Chase Briscoe. It was just one of several accordion-like accidents that marred Sunday's finish.
