Austin Hill Suspended by NASCAR, Loses Playoff Points
Austin Hill was suspended by NASCAR for a week and stripped of all his playoff points after an incident at Indianapolis where he appeared to intentionally cause a crash involving Aric Almirola. Hill's actions led to a penalty that will impact his championship chances, with Austin Dillon stepping in to drive his car at Iowa. NASCAR cited behavioral violations for the suspension and loss of points, and Hill's team chose not to appeal.
