Kaulig Racing driver Ty Dillon has lashed out at NASCAR after Austin Cindric got away with a fine and a points deduction꧙ for t🐲heir 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 fro✃ntstretch. This followed 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 🍸finis🐲h 25th.

NASCAR deemed 26-year-ol༒d 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-point pen༺alty.

The stock car racing authority justi𓆏fied the sanction by stating 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 happy with the reasoning, saying: “I was expecting a one🃏-race suspension.

“I think a one-race suspension is♍ what most of us expec💧ted. They set a standard a couple of years ago. I’m glad NASCAR handled most of it. I feel somewhat justified but we’ll see.”

Cindric regretted his ro𒁏le 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 with them again, I would like𒈔 to think𒀰 I would handle it differently.”
