Any penalties handed down to Joe Gibbs Racing driver Matt Kenseth for his actions during Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway would likely come today.
The sanctioning body typically doles out penalties on Tuesdays, and Kenseth may be in line for some punishment after he appeared to intentionally wreck Joey Logano in the Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500. Kenseth was multiple laps down at the time while Logano was in the race lead.
NASCAR officials met with Kenseth, crew chief Jason Ratcliff and team owner Joe Gibbs following Sunday’s event.
“There’s still a lot to digest from what happened tonight,” NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer Steve O’Donnell said immediately after the race. “We’ll do that. We’ll have some additional conversations and probably come out with something, if there is anything to discuss, on Tuesday.”
Danica Patrick may also face a penalty for her role in a wreck with David Gilliland .
