Meanwhile, NASCAR is still going over data from Hamlin's accident and will need to meet with officials from the University of Nebraska, home to the engineering school's Midwest Roadside Safety experts, and Ind圜ar before making any recommendations on whether a SAFER barrier should be installed where Hamlin hit. 'In this case, that is so far from the opposite, that it never even crossed anybody's mind that I'm aware of that paid attention to the race.' If somebody was of the mindset to retaliate, they probably would have been lined up nose-to-tail and somebody would have drove into the other car and spun him around,' Darby said. 'It was the last lap of the race, and the last time they were both going to see turns three and four. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. He was back in North Carolina on Tuesday, scheduled to be evaluated later this week by Dr. He spent Sunday night in a Southern California hospital, where he was diagnosed with an L1 compression fracture in his lower back. Both cars spun and Hamlin's hit head-on into an inside wall not protected with energy-absorbing SAFER barriers. They were racing side-by-side on the last lap for the win when they banged into each other. The two moved their feud to Twitter for at least the second time this season and then came Sunday's race. Logano angrily confronted Hamlin after the race before being pulled away by crew members. The two former teammates have feuded since the closing laps of the season-opening Daytona 500 and it escalated after contact from Hamlin sent Logano spinning into the wall two races ago at Bristol. But a couple of guys blowing off some steam and slapping at the air is not going to get anybody in a whole lot of trouble.'Īs for the last-lap crash between Logano and Hamlin, Darby said NASCAR viewed it as a racing incident.

If two guys get into a helluva fight, we're going to have to react. 'I don't know that we've actually got a rule book that describes every push in the chest or kick in the shin. 'A few years ago we backed away from micromanaging drivers' emotions, you would hope in today's world that if somebody didn't win a race, they would be upset about it,' Darby said. Darby said the incident didn't escalate to a level where NASCAR had to take action. There was some shoving, but crew members intervened before any punches landed. Stewart parked his car near Logano's and angrily approached him after Sunday's race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. 'As good as the racing has been, as exciting as it's been, I don't know that we need to jump in the middle and screw it up.'

'There are no conversations internally inside of NASCAR to look at blocking as a violation or a penalty as some other forms of motorsports do,' Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said Tuesday. In addition, NASCAR officials have given no thought to policing blocking, which is what Logano did to Stewart on the final restart to trigger the post-race confrontation. NASCAR won't penalize Tony Stewart for scuffling with Joey Logano on pit road at California and saw nothing to indicate Logano or Denny Hamlin were trying to intentionally wreck each other as they raced for the win.
