Yeah, this is a light sentence, but I don't agree they've lost all credibility as far as safety goes.
Why not? If that jack man had not seen Kurt, he would have been knocked, at minimum, several feet. Nearly running over a crew member just because you're pissed off is not only stupid, but shows a callous disregard for the safety of others.
Perhaps you should go back and watch the tape - Kurt didn't get his car stopped until the front was well past where the jack man had been just seconds before.
I really thought Kurt had cleaned up his reputation and attitude, but it appears he's just been covering it up. Maybe he and Jimmy Spencer need to have another go round.

Like I said, I agree the penalties were weak, but NASCAR has not lost all crediblity because Busch is a total ass and needs to be banned from motorsports for life. This is just one incident, how can the entire safety program be written off? Nascar has an excellent safety record in a pretty dangerous sport, and a very proactive safety program.
