Another weekend of the NASCAR Cup Series season is in the books, with Ryan Blaney having won the 2025 Cracker Barrel 400 on Sunday night.
Away from the results at Nashville Superspeedway, however, it proved another busy night for the race officials, as revealed by NASCAR's post-race infraction sheet, which details all of the in-race penalties issued at any given event.
On Sunday night, a total of 21 penalties were issued for infractions during the race, the most often of which, as usual, referred to 'pitting before pit road is open', which results in a tail-end penalty. 14 drivers were found guilty of this infraction, including the likes of Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell.
Elsewhere, however, other infractions also occurred, with Bubba Wallace and Erik Jones both penalized for 'speeding on pit road' on lap 43 and lap 68, respectively. Both drivers were hit with a drive-through penalty as a result.
Other penalties handed out during Sunday's race related to the crew members of several drivers. For example, Alex Bowman and Michael McDowell were given a tail-end penalty for 'crewmember(s) over the wall too soon', whilst Brad Keselowski was given the same punishment for having 'too many crewmember(s) in contact with pit service area'.
As a result, Allmendinger was forced to start Sunday's race at the rear, and carry out a stop-and-go penalty under green flag conditions, which put him down one lap.
