Ryan Blaney got in Carson Hocevar's way late in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race on Sept. 19.
And Hocevar punted Blaney's No. 12 Team Penske Ford to the wall, ending his night with 43 laps left.
Hocevar was running second behind Ty Gibbs when Blaney and Hocevar began swapping positions. Blaney then passed him and appeared to put up a block. Hocevar had already committed to the inside lane and put Blaney up into the wall.
"I don't (expletive) know. I got crashed," Blaney said during the USA broadcast.
Blaney had to be towed off the track. Hocevar remains in second behind Ty Gibbs.
