Biffle needs to show up the next time and answer every question “I just did my best” and not say one word more.

Again they go after a driver for something that didn’t happen on the track. This crap needs to stop.

Isn’t this what they put Tony Stewart on probation for too? I can’t remember the race, but, I know the fact that he’s already on probation is what caused his fine to be higher than Junior had in 2004. Love the fact that they make you stay for media obligations when what most of them have to say other than the winner isn’t really shown.

dubbiedaddy, they probably didn’t fine Biffle as much because it was the Busch series, not Cup. Biffle made half as much money (at best) as Smoke did in the race he skipped the media, so it would only be fair to penalize Biffle less than Stewart. $5000 probably puts the penalty in the same ballpark percentage-wise, which I feel is fair.

Anon, you don’t HAVE to talk to the media unless you’re in the top 3, I think. They require the top 3 to go to the media room after the race and that’s what these guys were skipping. If you wreck out or finish 18th, I don’t think you’re obligated to talk to anyone if you don’t want to.

Does anyone really care what Biffle would have said had he gone anyway?

hahaha right? They need to s__t or get off the pot, preferably the
latter. Either start penalizing them so it actually matters or stop
trying to carry on this big brother facade.
