NASCAR on Tuesday fined Matt Crafton $25,000 for punching fellow driver Nick Sanchez following the Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Sanchez was fined $5,000 and his father, Rene, was suspended for the remaining two races of the Truck Series season for getting involved.
“That is when it all went to hell. I had his attention, words were exchanged, all before anything physical took place, so I did not “sucker punch” the guy,”He also maintained that it was Sanchez who “‘sucker punched’ me at 200 mph.” Crafton added Sanchez was racing dangerously pushing other trucks and had been told “multiple times during that race the way he was pushing people was going to cause a wreck and get people hurt.
Crafton and Sanchez were involved in a crash during the race and Crafton drove his truck to Sanchez’s pit stall to initially show his displeasure.
