Why is there no such thing as an Unsafe Release in NASCAR?

The thought came to me after seeing the Gibbs/Preece incident yesterday. The pit lane can be genuinely dangerous, with all the people exposed and rushing around, so I would think that there should be some deterrent and punishment for when such incidents do happen. Steve Letarte even explained that the incident was entirely the fault of the #54 team, that the incoming driver has the right of way.
