Dillon's win at Richmond was called "detrimental to stock car auto racing" after intentionally wrecking competitors, leading to his removal from the playoffs.
Race data indicated "more likely than not a rule violation did occur," resulting in Dillon's points penalty and spot in the playoffs being revoked.
While Dillon retains his trophy and prize money, NASCAR's decision could cost Richard Childress Racing millions due to repercussions on final points standings.
Dillon faces a critical win possibility at Darlington: "This was the first opportunity in two years for me to be able to get a win."
