Josh Williams suspended 1 race for Atlanta incident

NASCAR suspended Josh Williams for one race after an incident in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Officials parked Williams after debris flew off of his car and caused a caution. Under caution, Williams parked his car at the start-finish line, then walked across the infield grass to his pit stall.

Alex Labbe will drive Williams’ No. 92 Chevrolet for DGM Racing at Circuit of the Americas.

No word on if NASCAR will grant Williams a waiver to remain playoff-eligible.

Williams issued this statement after NASCAR penalized him.
