I have to go with Ross Chastain here. Driver error on pit road twice, and whatever that was on the last lap, eliminating himself from the playoffs.
 
Chastain for repeated errors. The last lap wreck, and run was as bad the one that got Austin Dillion cucumbered for Richmond in 2024.

There should be some disciplanary penalties. Something like a two lap penalty at the start of the next race, plus the loss of pit selections for several more races.

There is hard racing and then there's idiotic moves the one yesterday is not even dabatable. A punitive and corrective message needs to be sent, not just to Chastain but to everyone.

There should be.

Except, this is what NASCAR wants in these playoff elimination races. There's a reason the cutoff races are Bristol, the Roval and Martinsville.

Also, I will say the biggest difference between Chastain and Dillon ... I think Dillon wrecking two cars is what got him.

The move on Logano was probably fair game in NASCAR's eyes. Wrecking Hamlin immediately after was the foul.

I like Ross, but what went down on Sunday is definitely penalty worthy. I think the discussion would be much different today if Ross’s late race theatrics got him into the next round. Which it shouldn’t matter how it ended up.
 
Personally if Ross made it in backwards I would be all for it standing. I think the playoffs are a joke to begin with. This kind of thing appears to be what Nascar wants us to be talking about weather Ross should be penalized for driving backwards across the finish line.
Same for last year and all the B.S. that caused with the win and you are in nonsense. Make a stupid points format, get stupid results.
 
Have to go with Ross, but a honorable mentioned to all of the Toyota and Chevy drivers that let Logano off the hook and allowed him to advance. If you can't figure out how to help Ross stay ahead of Joey enough to advance without openly communicating what you are doing, then you might want to think about another line of work. ;) All it would have taken was for Denny's spotter to say "The 1 is desperate, he's going to try to dive bomb you", to let Denny know that the needed to let Ross go by. If it ends up costing Denny the title, I'll laugh my ass off.

I want to add FTR that I would have preferred Chastain eliminating Lagano if he could have made a clean pass, but he didn't, so I stand by my previous post
