The incident also collected Kevin Knight and TJ Ball, and all four dropped out immediately following contact.
“One of the last things we want happening is drivers who aren’t running for a championship impacting drivers who are,” NFRN Director of Competition Kris Neuert said. “We’re always going to penalize retaliation, but in these cases, the penalty is higher.” Although Knight and Ball were involved in the crash that brought out the caution, the NFRN concluded the two teams could have continued racing with the damage the cars had at the time. Lopez was able to dodge the accident. Lopez was 20th in points going into the race and Ball was 33rd. Makana will effectively be on probation for the rest of the NTS regular season, and it will also apply to any NACS races he makes in that period of time. Comments are closed.
