The sanctions come after multiple drivers were involved in brake-checking maneuvers during the race, which saw William Byron, driver of the No. 24 Liberty University Chevrolet, leading the field.
NASCAR officials did not immediately disclose the specific drivers penalized or the exact amounts of the fines and points deductions.
