Johnny Sauter Suspended for One Race After Iowa Incident June 19, 2019 Regional NASCAR has suspended Gander Outdoors Truck Series driver Johnny Sauter after an on-track incident at Iowa Speedway last Sunday with Austin Hill. “What we typically do is we obviously all saw what took place and it’s obviously something that we don’t like to see,” Scott Miller, NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “Once we see that we have a group that gets together and sort of review what went on and then take a look at similar instances from the past. “Similar is kind of a keyword because no two incidents are the same. As a group then we decide where we’re headed with it. We felt like his actions certainly warranted being sat out for an event but didn’t feel like taking him out of the championship was something that we really wanted to do.” Sauter will remain eligible for the playoffs so long as he remains in the top-20 in regular season points.
