Austin Hill‘s controversial move in the closing laps of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway has already been the topic of much discussion among those in the NASCAR industry.

Hill appeared to intentionally wreck Aric Almirola on Lap 91 of the Pennzoil 250 after Almirola had gotten Hill loose in the previous corner during a battle for fourth place. 

While Hill was given a five-lap penalty for reckless driving, a suspension for the Aug. 2 race at Iowa Speedway could be in order. 

“I… you can see his gloves through the front windshield… and to be doing that at Indianapolis Motor Speedway of all places, is just not good,” said Joseph Srigley of TobyChristie.com. “That should probably be a suspension, at least for next weekend at Iowa, if not longer. Yikes…”

“Maaaaaan not sure that’s gonna hold up in NASCAR Court,” said Eric Estepp of “Out of The Groove” in response to Hill’s radio transmission.

Hill told his team that he couldn’t hang on to his car after the aforementioned contact from Almirola, though it appeared that the No. 21 Chevrolet was stable for a brief moment before he made contact with Almirola’s No. 19. 

A suspension for Hill would also relieve the No. 21 team of all its playoff points, including any they might earn over the final five races of the regular season. Hill has won three races so far this season.Â
