NASCAR: No penalties for Blaney-Hocevar Bristol fight; passion over punishment

NASCAR chief Steve O'Donnell said there will be no penalties for Ryan Blaney or Carson Hocevar after their post-race altercation at Bristol Motor Speedway, framing the incident as passion rather than misconduct. Blaney confronted Hocevar after Hocevar spun him, leading to a scuffle on pit road in which Hocevar threw punches and Blaney retaliated; both drivers will not be penalized. Hocevar finished third and Blaney 33rd, and both remain in NASCAR's The Chase, with Hocevar’s aggressive style drawing fan attention as Blaney emphasized his competitive fire while noting he regretted the actions.}

NASCAR shortens late-stage cautions with a 10-lap rule change

NASCAR has changed its stage-ending rules: if a caution occurs within 10 laps of the end of Stage 1 or Stage 2, the stage is deemed official at the moment of caution and the leader returns to the start/finish line to receive the green and checkered flags, with the ensuing caution serving as the stage break. Points are paid out immediately and pit road opens as soon as safely possible. The rule, aimed at eliminating long stretches under caution and boosting green-flag action, is in effect starting this weekend at Iowa Speedway, with NASCAR president Steve O’Donnell praising fans for pushing the change.
