NASCAR suspended Craftsman Truck Series driver Conner Jones for one race on Wednesday after an incident in Saturday’s Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The sanctioning body also gave an L1-level penalty to the No. 38 truck driven by Layne Riggs for improperly mounted ballast.
On Lap 76 of 134 at Homestead, Jones hit Matt Mills in the No. 42 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet from behind with his No. 66 ThorSport Racing Ford and Mills shot up the track and into the outside wall. NASCAR responded by giving Jones a two-lap penalty during the race and then followed up with the one-race suspension for violating Sections 4.3.A; 4.4.B: NASCAR Member Code of Conduct in the rule book. That means Jones will miss this week’s race at Martinsville Speedway (6 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
