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.
"First, let's address the ‘sucker punch.’ Before the cameras started rolling I approached Nick and said ‘hey’ when he turned around I said ‘what the —?!’ to which he looked right at me and threatened me," Crafton wrote over six posts on X, formerly Twitter. "There is a consistent pattern of certain drivers having a lack of respect on the track, and it was time for someone to say something."
