DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 25, 2011) – NASCAR has fined Kurt Busch $50,000 for his actions during the Nov. 20 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

NASCAR determined that Kurt Busch violated Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing – inappropriate hand gesture; abusive language) of the 2011 NASCAR Rule Book.

In issuing the penalty, NASCAR cited Kurt Busch’s “poor judgment in making an inappropriate hand gesture” when he drove his car into the garage early in the race after it experienced transmission problems. In addition, NASCAR said Kurt Busch showed “disrespect towards a media member,” an incident that followed similar inappropriate media confrontations earlier in the season.

    Poor boy should find a ride that he would be happy with. The Captain should minimize his losses and let Kurt out of his trashy cars. Maybe Reuti or Ragan can handle the trashy cars and keep the Captain out of the PR melee.

  2. Good!!! the Buschwackers think they are better than everyone else and have absolutely NO class at all !!!  I agree with KKin5….I too think Reuti and or David Ragan would make far better driver’s and men!!!  I hope someone picks up both David’s soon!!!
