NASCAR driver Josh Berry acknowledged he deliberately made contact with Ryan Blaney during a recent race, stating he intended to "send a message" but admitted the move "crossed the line." Berry's comments came after an on-track incident that drew scrutiny from officials and competitors alike.
The admission marks a rare instance of a driver openly conceding intentional contact in NASCAR's premier series. Berry did not specify which race the incident occurred in, but his remarks suggest he recognizes the maneuver violated unwritten rules of competition.
NASCAR has not yet announced any disciplinary action regarding the incident. The sanctioning body typically reviews such cases for potential penalties, which can include fines, points deductions, or probation.
