NASCAR officials plan to talk with Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart prior to the Sprint Cup race at Chicago after the two tangled last Saturday night in the race at Richmond.
NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer Steve O’Donnell said on SiriusXM NASCAR on Monday that a conversation would be had with both drivers. He also said that NASCAR found the comments following the incident “disappointing.”
“Certainly too late for us to do anything in terms of a reaction at-track after you hear the comments from both drivers, disappointing in terms of how that played out and what was said, I think, on the air," O’Donnell said when asked what NASCAR was thinking after what officials saw and the comments made by both drivers.
