Kurt Busch Fined
As he should have been.
Kurt Busch was docked 100 driver points Friday, fined $100,000 and placed on probation until the end of the year for reckless driving and endangering a crew member on pit road.
Car owner Roger Penske also was penalized 100 owner points because of Busch’s infraction.
…
Busch and Tony Stewart were both running in the top 10 in Monday’s race at Dover International Speedway when Busch clipped Stewart as he went to make a pass in lap 271. Busch nosed into the wall and Stewart was sent hard into the SAFER barrier on the outside retaining wall.
While Stewart’s team checked out the damage to the No. 20 Chevrolet in the pit stall, Busch pulled next to Stewart’s car, forcing jackman Jason Lee to jump back and onto the hood.
NASCAR parked Busch and he finished 42nd.
I am a fan of Kurt Busch, but it’s time to grow up already.
