HAMPTON, Georgia – Josh Williams parked his car at the start/finish line and walked away from the car after being ordered off the track by series officials during Saturday’s Xfinity Series race.

Series officials met Williams about 20 minutes after Saturday’s Xfinity race.

Any penalties from NASCAR are expected to be announced on Tuesday.

Williams’ car was damaged in a three-car accident, prompting a warning on lap 28. Williams’ team called for damage, but the wreckage of the car prompted a warning on lap 32. NASCAR ordered Williams to go to the garage and pull out of the race. .

Section 8.8.9.I of the Xfinity Series Code of Practice states that, under the Damaged Vehicle Policy, NASCAR may take the vehicle off the track.

“At the discretion of the series managing director, if the affected vehicle decides not to enter pit road at the earliest opportunity, or if the damaged vehicle exits pit road before sufficient repairs have been made and thereafter triggers or extends a warning (e.g. , fluid leaks, debris, etc.), then such vehicle may be penalized lap(s) or time, or may be denied entry to the race.”

Williams admitted that he was upset and confused by NASCAR’s decision to go to the garage and decided to park the car in the front lot.

“We all work really hard and only run ‘X’ laps and then get something like a bear bond and knock us out of the race, it’s really frustrating,” Williams said after meeting with series officials. “Small team. We work very hard. We have to make our sponsors happy, right? It’s useless to sit in the garage. It is what it is. We will learn from this and move on.”

Regarding his wave towards the crowd after exiting the car, Williams said: “Just (waving) to some of the officials in the stands. We are all good friends with everyone. I waved to them. They waved back. The fans supported me and it was great. I hope they got some enjoyment out of it.”

Williams had to stay in the NASCAR tractor after reporting there during the race and wait for officials to return from the control tower for a meeting.

“I told them I was a little upset,” Williams said of the NASCAR call, “but it was in the rule book.”

Asked if he was disappointed that NASCAR didn’t punish him in some other way that would have allowed him to race, Williams said after the meeting, “It’s up to them. It’s their sandbox and we play in it and I love the Xfinity series. I respect Wayne (Othon) and everyone else, so we’ll just go ahead and move on to the next one.”

Asked if he was worried about being suspended for his actions, Williams replied: “I’m not sure. It’s up to Wayne and everyone in NASCAR. If that’s the rule, and they decide to do it, every action has a reaction.”

Williams said he had a similar episode on short track early in his racing career when he stopped his car in the front section under the grandstand.

“Not a single person was in their seats,” Williams said. “I didn’t do it (on Saturday) to embitter or make a big scene… I wanted to give my opinion on what I think (the decision) is wrong, but it’s in the rulebook.”
