NASCAR has lost all credibility when it comes to driver and crew safety in my opinion. All this piddly little slap on the wrist says is "Go ahead, slam into cars on pit road and almost kill crew members".

What a friggin joke NASCAR has become. Busch should be sitting for a minimum of 2 races if not more.

If this hasn’t been updated, that will push Kurt down to around 18th and push his teammate Ryan Newman up to 15th.

The way Nascar give out points 100 is nothing. They really threw Kurt in the briar patch.

Yeah, this is a light sentence, but I don't agree they've lost all credibility as far as safety goes.

This is the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard.

I said it in another thread, apparently NASCAR thinks that having the wrong bracket is the same as nearly running over a defenseless pit crew member IN THEIR OWN PIT BOX WHILE THEIR DRIVER IS PARKED.

Rusty Wallace had the wrong brother when he said last year that Kyle needed a good ass kicking.

I wonder what Kevin Harvick thinks. He had to sit out a truck race for "rough racing" a couple of years ago. That was for on the track behavior. Kurt deliberately drove into Tony's pit box, with the intention of causing damage, which he did.

Makes me wonder, if Kurt had hit Tony hard and pushed Tony into the wall, crushing the legs of one or more crew members, if NASCAR would simply penalize him say 200 points and $250,000.

Miller Lite must be a big contributor to NASCAR's bottom line.

Too bad he did not just go back out on the track and give stewart a bit of his own medicine.
