Suarez fined $50,000 by NASCAR for hitting cars on pit road

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has fined Daniel Suarez $50,000 for hitting another vehicle on pit road following the race at Circuit of the Americas. The fine was classified as a behavioral penalty and NASCAR cited “contact with another vehicle on pit road after the race.” Suarez hit both his Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain from behind and then Alex Bowman as the cars returned to pit road following Sunday’s race on the road course. He spoke with Bowman on pit road after, and leaned into Chastain's window to talk to his teammate. Suarez finished 27th in a race that ended in triple overtime.
