Overview

• Hill hooked Almirola’s car on Lap 91 of the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis, ending both drivers’ races when Almirola struck the outside wall.
• NASCAR issued a five-lap hold on Hill under its in-race reckless driving rules, marking the only penalty applied so far.
• Over the radio, Hill insisted the contact was accidental and responded to the sanction with profanity directed at NASCAR.
• Almirola has called for Hill to be suspended for one race, citing past bans of Bubba Wallace and Chase Elliott for similar right-hook incidents.
• NASCAR will review the clash and announce any further discipline in its weekly penalty report, with implications for Hill’s Iowa Speedway entry.
