Austin Hill returns from NASCAR suspension, says crash was a "racing incident"

Austin Hill is back at the track this weekend after NASCAR suspended him for one race following his involvement in a scary incident at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After Aric Almirola pushed him out of the way, Hill appeared to intentionally turn to the left and hook Almirola hard into the outside wall.

While Hill continues to assert that the contact was unintentional, it doesn't change the fact that NASCAR decided to suspend him, forcing the Richard Childress Racing driver to miss the Xfinity race at Iowa Speedway. And while he has been granted a playoff waiver, the suspension means that Hill has lost all 21 playoff bonus points in a major hit to his title shot.
