In a retaliatory action taken during the Last Chance Race on Sunday for the Cook Out Clash, Ty Gibbs ramped off the side of Justin Haley under caution.
…
Gibbs, for his part, said he didn’t mean to launch and just wanted to door slam Haley.
“I don’t know,” Gibbs said, via The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck. “I just had a little left front damage and gave him a little tap but didn’t mean to make it that big.”
NASCAR’s Cup Series managing director Brad Moran intends to have a conversation with Gibbs but did not suggest a penalty stemming from the non-points exhibition race at a track known for extracurricular theatrics.
“We know it’s a tough place, and there’s gonna be some aggression and some good short-track racing, which is what we wanted. But I’ll be having a discussion with Ty before we go on the track in Daytona and just get his take on what happened and make sure we’re clear on what we need from that point moving forward.”
