Over the 76-year history of NASCAR, retaliation for transgressions on the racetrack have always been prevalent.
Plenty of drivers have used the chrome horn to show their displeasure after a competitor roughed them up, and from time to time, competitors crossed the line.
The invisible line of conduct was clearly crossed and abused in Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, when driver Conner Jones intentionally crashed fellow competitor Matt Mills after Jones was upset with the way he was being raced.
On lap 76, Jones’ frustration boiled over, as he sent Mills’ Chevrolet hard into the outside wall in turn four, with Mills’ truck spewing flames from the rear of the vehicle.
