Here's Kevin Lepage's apology.
"After reviewing the tapes of the accident I realize I need to apologize to NASCAR, the car owners, my fellow competitors and, most importantly, the fans,” he said in a statement released by his team, Specialty Racing. “I made a huge driver error by blending onto the race track in the wrong area. This caused a multicar accident and changed the outcome of the race for many teams.
“I’m so thankful that no one was hurt considering the number of cars involved.”
Lepage vowed not to make the same mistake again, and said not accepting blame initially made him look like a “heel.”
“There is not a single person to blame for this huge mistake except myself,” he said. “I have worked very hard over the years to gain the respect of NASCAR, the owners, competitors and the fans, and it will take a long time to gain it back after what happened"
