Finally, NASCAR has made a great call. Today NASCAR announced the penalties for Kurt Busch and Tony Stewarts on track and off track fiasco where Busch apparently got "smoked."
Last Friday while practicing for the Bud Shootout, Busch tried to block Stewart which led to both of them crashing. After the initial wreck, Busch used his car to take shots at Stewart’s car which in my opinion is out of line. And NASCAR apparently agrees.
This year NASCAR claims that they are going back to their roots and the penalties they enforced show just that. After the wreck and the bumps by Busch, both drivers were called to the NASCAR trailer for a meeting. In the meeting, Stewart apparently threw a punch that landed on Bushes’ face. And this is where the good call by NASCAR comes in.
The penalties that were released Tuesday, Feb. 12, were probation for six races for both drivers. NASCAR only penalized the drivers for their on-track altercations. No fines or penalties were given for what happened in the trailer, and that’s what I like to hear.
NASCAR should not fine or penalize the drivers for taking out their aggression on another drivers face. These are grown men who are responsible for themselves and their actions. If Kurt Busch wants to run his mouth off to a much bigger guy, then let him. If he wants to fight another driver who wrecked him, let him.
These drivers are so passionate about they do for a living it is hard for them to bottle up the emotion after being wrecked. Before, they had to hide this emotion so they wouldn't get fined and points taken away by NASCAR. Now, if NASCAR lets them fight things out, you will see the true side of the drivers come out. Like Carl Edwards giving Matt Kenseth the old' flinch test last year.
Let them fight it out NASCAR.
