On the final lap of last weekend's NASCAR Xfinity race, Sammy Smith drove deep into the final corner in an effort to intentionally wreck race leader Taylor Gray. He succeeded, but wrecked himself in the process as a multi-car incident broke out.
Neither driver won the race and after outcry from several industry leaders, NASCAR chose to penalize Smith. He was later docked 50 points and fined $25,000. However, NASCAR went a step further, holding an early-morning meeting with the Xfinity field just hours before Saturday's race at Darlington. Attendance was mandatory.
