Xfinity Series driver Austin Hill was penalized by NASCAR on Wednesday for intentionally wrecking Cole Custer in last weekend’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Hill, the series points leader, was fined $25,000 and docked 25 driver points for a violation of Section 4.4B of NASCAR’s Member Code of Conduct. The section covers actions including “wrecking and spinning another vehicle, whether or not that vehicle is removed from competition,” and “any actions deemed to compromise the safety of an event or otherwise pose a dangerous risk to the safety of competitors, officials, spectators, or others.
