You know, I have a great family and I have great team owners, and I definitely had a lot of chats. But just making sure that, I can sit here and apologize to everybody, and my words don’t mean anything because I think I have to do it through my actions. I mean, I’m sorry for my mistakes, I announced that, but it’s by my actions that I’m gonna really truly say I’m sorry, because I can’t be doing that stuff again and I’ve got to keep going. But definitely had a lot of talks.”Crew members from other teams and NASCAR officials were in a nearby pit stall when Gibbs’s #23 car broadsided Dillon’s #42 car, causing it to veer. NASCAR makes it a priority for drivers not to make intentional contact on the pit road that could injure crew members or others.FOX: NASCAR@NASCARONFOX"Pit road is not the place to fool around." @keselowski shares his thoughts on Ty Gibbs and the penalty issued by #NASCAR. #RaceHub@jamiemcmurray | @regansmith | @shannonspake42959"Pit road is not the place to fool around." @keselowski shares his thoughts on Ty Gibbs and the penalty issued by #NASCAR. #RaceHub@jamiemcmurray | @regansmith | @shannonspake https://t.co/nH2qKDsamQThis is the second time this season that Ty Gibbs has been fined for rough driving on pit road.
