On Friday at Watkins Glen International, Austin Hill walked back into the NASCAR Xfinity Series garage for the first time since officials suspended him for what they deemed an intentional wreck of Aric Almirola at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26.
Hill, however, is holding his ground, maintaining that the contact with Almirola’s No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was unintentional.
“I know that when I go to my grave way down the road that it wasn’t done on purpose,” Hill told NASCAR.com Friday afternoon. “So, I can at least take that with me.”
