NASCAR officials meet with Shane van Gisbergen, Austin Hill at Atlanta

Shane van Gisbergen got his first trip to NASCAR’s principal office on Saturday at EchoPark Speedway, as officials summoned both him and Austin Hill to the NASCAR hauler for a 17-minute meeting following their on-track incident last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway.

“I don’t really want to do it again,” van Gisbergen quipped about his maiden visit to the NASCAR hauler.

….

While their driving styles differ in many ways, van Gisbergen believes he and Hill share a similar mentality.

“I’m probably a bit more reserved than him, but I’m aggressive on track, I guess, you are always going to clash with people like that,” van Gisbergen said. “I don’t know, I’m not going to back down or be threatened by someone, but I don’t want to fight anyone, either.”
