Statement from James Rocco – Valvoline Evernham Racing, Designated Team Owner:
“After a comprehensive internal review of the post-race incident between Kevin Harvick and a member of the #10 team, Valvoline Evernham Racing supports NASCAR’s decision to indefinitely suspend the involved crew member. We apologize to Kevin and DeLana Harvick, NASCAR, our partners and our fans for this incident.
The behavior demonstrated by the involved crew member was in violation of the Valvoline Evernham Racing Employee Code of Conduct and will not be tolerated. We concur with NASCAR’s ruling and will not appeal the suspension or fine.”

I am glad Evernham is not appealing the decision made by Nascar. What the crew guy did was uncalled for, and he should be suspended.
I think suspension is a bit weak. Anyone who has the privilage of working for such a high caliber race team, (driver or crew)should be expected to exhibit enough self-control not to act on emotion. This person should be replaced permanently. please send me an application!
