Also, as an after thought here, has anyone else noticed that it has been quiet from the Gibbs Racing camp. Makes you really wonder what they think of this whole thing and what will be said after the race with interviews, because you know the press is going to ask what they thought of the penalty.

Andy-
You pretty much said it all with the way you put it all out there for everyone to read. I am so…not sure, but I know what took place here is not right, not at all. I can only imagine how Tony, his pit crew, the crew member that was almost hit, and their families feel right now about this whole thing. Sicking, that what this is, just sicking.

RJ-I’m pretty much figuring he’s gonna be nose-first into the inside
wall. Do I want that to happen intentionally off someone’s bumper?
Of course not;; wishing for anything that could cause injury to a
driver is just stupid. But in all reality, that’s probably going to be
the outcome.

Once again, NASCAR has let the teams down and the fans down. What is it going to take? Are we going to have to wait until one of the Busch brothers kills or seriously injuries someone? I am sooo glad I am a Mark Martin fan…….he would never do anything like this and I can hold my head high as his fan.

Kurt’s penalty should be having Jimmy Spencer locked in a room with him while they watch tape of every comment and incident related to their past encounters.

I am just sooo very ashamed of Nascar and I am too stunned to even comment more on this complete disaster.

Dale/Eury Jr : Minor Wing Infraction [Did not race with infraction]

Penalty :

Eury Jr - $100,000

Dale Jr - 100 championship points

DEI - 100 Owner points

Suspension - Eury Jr

Suspension Length - SIX (6) Races

Kurt Busch : Endangering the safety/life of a crew man and wreckless driving

Penalty:

Busch - $100,000

Busch - 100 Championship Points

Penske Racing - 100 Owner Points

Suspension - NONE.

See anything wrong? I never knew the wing of a car was
more severe to NASCAR than nearly running a crewman over.

Thank you for posting the email address. I have written them, and I encourage others to do the same. Strength in numbers.

I am saddened to know that Kurt got away with it. There is no excuse, and I’m not sure that any penalty other than suspension would have made anyone happy. Funny thing what a little bit of money will do.

Okay these penalties cover his car failing post race inspection, but what about the pit road incident? My point is he had two major infractions that day (car failing post race inspection and the pit road incident) and it seems like he only got penalized for one. I thought Nascar was going to be really hard on COT infractions. Where’s the consistency Nascar?

i totally agree with everyone, this is totally wrong. he should have to sit out a race or two.. this is crazy. if it were jr and jr is not my first choice of one of my favs.. but if it were him he would have been put out for the rest of the year..

to whoever asked about email.. the closest thing i can think to do about that would to email marty smith or somone at nascar.com because they are always around the drivers an officials. I AM NOT TAKIN ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS SITE. i like this site better than nascar.com but i dont kno nothin about email adresses up here like they got on nascar.com.

OK, so let me see if I understand NASCARS thinking. IF a driver swerves toward another drivers car and almost hits a member of the opposing drivers crew you get the same fine and penalties that a driver gets for haveing the wrong braket on the rear wing of the COT. Hmmmm, so someones life is worth the same amount as a braket. I GOT IT NASCAR. I wonder how much it really cost BABY BUSH? How much did Hilton got under the table.

I can’t believe that!! They are insane!! But I guess they figure that this will all blow over soon just like other things in the past. Does anyone have an email addy to write about our hate and dislike for this ruling??? Not like it matters. They are still going to do what they want to do. They have proved that time and time again. Why do I still watch NASCAR!! I should really stop!!
