Pit Road Speeding Incident Raises Eyebrows
According to NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass, Busch was just over the tolerance, going 50.01 mph in section 4 on pit road. The incident took place in the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on 25th June 2023, which was won by Ross Chastain.
Pockrass’s tweet read, “Busch was 50.01 mph in section 4 on pit road — pit road speed is 45mph and get 5mph tolerance so just a tick over the tolerance.”
Seeing that 0.01 mph could get their driver a penalty, Rowdy’s fans were clearly not happy.
