NASCAR Issues Fines And Probation For Violations At Darlington Raceway
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 15, 2012) –
NASCAR has fined
Kurt Busch, driver of the No. 51 car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series,
$50,000 and placed him on NASCAR probation until July 25 for his actions
during the May 12 race
at Darlington Raceway.
Kurt
Busch violated Section 12-1 (Actions detrimental to stock car racing;
reckless driving on pit road during the race; involved in an altercation
with another competitor after the completion of the race) of the 2012
NASCAR Rule Book. Additionally, Craig Strickler, a crew member for the
No. 51 team, has been fined $5,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until
Dec. 31 for violating Section 12-1 (Actions
detrimental to stock car racing; interfering with a member of the
broadcast media).
Tony
Gibson, crew chief for the No. 39 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team, has
been placed on NASCAR probation until June 27 for violating Section 12-1
and Sections 12-4G and 9-4A (Crew chief assumes responsibility for the
actions of his team members). Andrew Rueger, a crew member for the No.
39 team, has been fined $5,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until June
27 for violating Section 12-1 (Actions detrimental
to stock car racing; failure to comply with a directive from a NASCAR
official). Both of these violations occurred post-race.
Opinion :
I am glad NASCAR has taken action against these people involved in the incident we witness on tv at Darlington.
This kind of behavior has to stop before some one is seriously hurt or die's .I also believe that it is time for NASCAR to start fining the team owners also because as the crew chiefs being responsible for the actions of them the owners are responsible for the whole organization actions.
