NASCAR fined Ty Gibbs $15,000 for a behavioral infraction from Friday night’s Xfinity Series race at Martinsville Speedway, but it was not for throwing punches at Sam Mayer.
According to the penalty report, the fine is for Gibbs’s car making “contact with another vehicle on pit road after the race.” The 19-year-old was engaged in a heated on-track battle with Mayer late in Friday’s race, and it led to Gibbs being booted from the front of the pack and teammate Brandon Jones taking the win.
