Just minutes after Elliott finished in 6th place, NASCAR issued a penalty against the Dawsonville based driver for allegedly passing cars between the infield of the track and the double yellow lines, a rule that had been enforced two times earlier in the race. Two hours after the race, Nascar rescinded the penalty, saying that Elliott was forced off the track by Chris Buescher.
