Austin Dillon intentionally ran into Cole Custer during the XFINITY race at Phoenix Raceway last weekend. The move was retaliation for Custer getting lose and hitting Dillon to cause a caution.

Dillon indicated that a repeat offense of wrecking another car under caution would result in NASCAR suspending him. Dillon, after a meeting with NASCAR officials Friday at Auto Club Speedway a week following his running into Cole Custer under caution, said: "NASCAR did a really good job of sharing with me that if I make a mistake like that again that the penalties would be very harsh. … I love to race and I don't want to be on the sideline, ever."
