Overview

• NASCAR imposed a one-week suspension on Hill under Sections 4.3.A and 4.4.B & D of its Member Code of Conduct after a midweek review found his right-hook on Aric Almirola at Indianapolis intentional.
• The penalty forces Hill to miss the next NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway and voids the 21 bonus points he had accrued.
• Under the 2025 waiver policy, drivers suspended for non-medical reasons lose all existing and future playoff points, effectively resetting Hill’s postseason tally to zero.
• Richard Childress Racing declined to appeal the decision and has appointed Cup Series regular Austin Dillon to drive the No. 21 Chevrolet in Hill’s absence.
• Hill’s three victories earlier this season had positioned him fifth in the standings, making the suspension a significant setback to his championship aspirations.
