NASCAR Cup drivers are anticipating how the league will react to Martinsville's controversial Xfinity race because the ruling could eventually impact them, too.

“Our cars are tanks now,” Bell said. “The Xfinity (Series) cars are a lot more fragile than what we have today. It just comes down to respect, and whenever you have respect in a race car and respect for your competitors, the outcome is a lot different. We want to be known as racers; We don’t want to be known as wreckers.”

A wreck- and caution-filled Xfinity Series at Martinsville drew criticism in the Cup Series garage and put a spotlight on a tricky problem.
