NASCAR: Driver Clint Bowyer has been placed on probation until June 16 for aggressive driving.

The penalty stems from a late-race incident between Bowyer and Denny Hamlin in last weekend’s Nationwide race at Dover. Bowyer and Hamlin were battling for position during a late restart when Hamlin clipped Bowyer, forcing him to pit.

The probation covers all three of NASCAR’s major series. Bowyer is a regular on the Sprint Cup Series and drives occasionally on the Nationwide circuit.
