Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice has spoken out following Austin Cindric's $50,000 fine and 50 point penalty for his wreck with Kaulig driver Ty Dillon.

Austin Cindric’s retaliation against Ty Dillon resulted in a points penalty. NASCAR announced Wednesday that the Team Penske driver had been penalized 50 points and fined $50,000 after he turned Dillon on the front stretch in the opening laps of last weekend’s race at Circuit of the Americas.

Brad Moran, Managing Director of the NASCAR Cup Series, says the sanctioning body will be looking at the early-race incident between Austin Cindric and Ty Dillon to see if any penalties are necessary.
