BATAVIA, Ohio – The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing announced penalties for Cade Dillard Tuesday morning after an on-track incident and subsequent actions at Batesville Motor Speedway on Friday, Aug. 15.

The on-track incident happened during the Group B feature race between Dillard and Garrett Alberson.

On a restart on lap seven, Alberson passed for the lead in turn two. As the two drivers exited turn two, contact was made, causing Alberson to hit the backstretch wall. Neither car could continue after the crash.

In an interview with FloRacing, Dillard admitted to intentionally causing the chaos, and expressed his intentions to do it again if the opportunity arose.

After review, Dillard’s on-track and off-track actions were deemed aggressive, violating the conduct policy in section 1.4 of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing rulebook.

As a result, Dillard has been suspended for six months from any Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing competition.
