NASCAR has penalized Sammy Smith, Taylor Gray, and Jeb Burton after Saturday's Xfinity Series race at Martinsville, which attracted huge criticism from the sport's veterans. Smith has been slapped with a reduction of 50 points for crashing into Gray in the last lap of the race, in addition to a massive fine of $25,000.

Things got ugly at the end of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Martinsville Speedway, and both drivers involved ended up losing out at the checkered flag.
