NASCAR reviewed data from every lap that Austin Hill and Shane van Gisbergen were on track before deciding neither driver would be penalized for their Chicagoland Speedway incident.
During the latest episode of the “Hauler Talk” podcast, NASCAR vice president of racing communications Mike Forde said officials would still meet with van Gisbergen and Hill this weekend at EchoPark Speedway.
…
“We want to have a discussion and make sure that it doesn’t boil over into a significant problem at Atlanta or beyond,” Forde said, adding there was no penalty to Hill for hitting van Gisbergen’s car under caution. “So we plan to have that conversation on Saturday.”
…
“We looked to see if there were any anomalies throughout the race and something that spurred this that maybe was payback from earlier,” Forde said. “We went through all the radio transmissions to see if there was anything that rose to kind of a smoking gun. Camera angles and all available resources, as we always say. And nothing in our eyes proved definitively this was 100% intentional and penalty-worthy.”
