Kaulig Racing driver Ty Dilꦅlon has lashed out at NASCAR after Austin Cindric got away with a fine and a points deduction fo♒r their clash in the Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas.

Team Penske’s Cindric right-hooked the #10 Chevrolet of Dillon on lap 4 of the Texas race last week, sending him spinning down the frontstretch. This followeﷺd Dillon sending Cindric wide during a previous encounter between the duo.

Dillon’s car sustained heavy damage in the incident, while Cindric managed to continue to⛎ f💦inish 25th.

NASCAR deemed 26-year-old Cindric responsible for the collision, but while a precedent has been set for a one-race ban in such crashes, Cindric was only hit with a $50,000 fine and a 50-poin🐻t penalty.

The stock car racing authority justified the sanction by stati🐼ng that the crash took place “at a road course with lower speeds to begin with, and the results didn't even draw a caution flag.”

However, Dillon wasn’t h𓂃appy with the reasoning, saying: “I was expecting a one-race suspension.

“I think a one-race suspension is what most of us expected. They set a standard a couple of years ago. I’m glad NASCAR handled most of it. I feel somewhat justif🅘ied but we’ll see.”

Cindric regretted his rol🐈e in causing the wreck, adding: “I handled myself poorly in ✨the face of adversity and I need to do better.

“I was faced with adversity and have faced a lot of it to start the season, a lot of emotions and I handled them poorly. If faced wi🅷th them again, I would like to think I would handle it differently.”
