NASCAR issued penalties to the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing team Thursday in the wake of an on-track incident and its aftermath after a crash involving Kevin Harvick and Ty Dillon in Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Martinsville Speedway.

NASCAR fined crew chief Marcus Richmond $10,000 and indefinitely suspended RCR crew member Adam Brown who threw a sledgehammer at Harvick's truck.

Harvick and Dillon had an argument out on the race track and made contact before they made their way back to pit road.

The Childress crew confronted Harvick, needing to be separated by NASCAR officials from the driver's compartment. Brown, listed as a mechanic on the team roster on RCR's website, lofted a padded mallet at Harvick's truck during the scrum.
