On this week's edition of Hauler Talk,NASCAR vice president of racing communications Mike Forde detailed the decision by series officials to fine Zane Smith $50,000 for slamming into the back of Carson Hocevar after the Phoenix Cup race.
“After they had their dust-up on the race track, we called both of them into (the hauler) at Atlanta,” said Forde. “And we don’t typically like talking about what we tell those drivers in the hauler. But in this case, pretty much the message was this: If you guys can’t figure it out, we will help you figure it out. And they couldn’t figure it out. So this is us pretty much helping. Zane Smith figured it out a little bit in the form of a $50,000 fine.
