NASCAR's latest controversial finish review is not over yet.
“NASCAR is reviewing Saturday night's race at Richmond International Raceway per protocol and has no plans for further statement until that process is complete.”
Whether Clint Bowyer spun intentionally or not may be one of the items being reviewed by NASCAR officials although there will likely be a review of the final restart when eventual winner, Carl Edwards, got the best of a second-place restart on Paul Menard.
Bowyer's spin caused a caution which eventually helped his teammate, Martin Truex Jr. get a finish that locked him into the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
A number of former champion crew chiefs, including Ray Evernham who worked with Jeff Gordon, said on television the spin looked intentional.
Country and Western music star, Blake Shelton tweeted “Y'all should follow @ClintBowyer!!! The definition of team player!!! #hero — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) September 8, 2013”
When asked if the spin was intentional “Go ahead and get creative," Bowyer said. "But don't look too much into it."
In the case of Sunday races NASCAR usually issues its' findings on Tuesday, but, since it was a Saturday night race a statement might come as early as Monday.
