Kaulig Racing driver Ty Dillon has la꧙shed out at NASCAR after Austin Cindric got away with a fine and a points deduction for their clash in the Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas.

Team Penske’s Cindric right-hooked the #10 Chevrolet of Dillon on lap 4 of the Texa♚s race last week, sending him spinning down the frontstretch. This followed Dillon sending Cindric wide during a previous encounter between the duo.

🌼Dillon’s car sustained heavy damage in the incident, while Cindric managed to continue to finish 25t🌜h.

NASCAR deemed ꦗ2ꦬ6-year-old Cindric responsible for the collision, but while a precedent has been set for a one-race ban in such crashes, Cindric was only hit with a $50,000 fine and a 50-point penalty.

The stock car racing authority justified the sanction by statin🎶g that the crash took place “at a road course with lower speeds to begin with, and the results didn't even draw a caution flag.”

However, Dillon wasn’t happy with the reasoning, saying: “I was expecting a one-rac𝓰e suspension.

“I think a one-race suspension is what most of us expected. They set a standard a couple of years ago. I’m glad NASCAR handled most of it. I fee🔯l somewhat justified but we’ll see.”

Cindric regretted his role in causing the wreck, adding:♒ “I handled myself poorly in the face of adveꦯrsity and I need to do better.

“I was faced with adversity and have faced a lot of it to start the season, a lot of emotions and I handꦐled them poorly. If faced with them again, I would like to think I would handle it differently.”
