Spencer punched Busch in the nose. He was fined $25 big ones and sat out a week IIRC.
They didn't say how long probation, but Nascar should have the whole thing up soon.
Bono and the #1 team should not be fined for the expletive because Fox was on delay but someone dropped the ball and didn't edit the word out.
Yep that was right, and Spencer was on probation from Aug 03 to the end of the year.
A little clip from that incident.......
Jack Roush was openly critical of NASCAR's decision to place his driver on probation. "It is incomprehensible to me that NASCAR used this incident to place Kurt Busch on probation. His only involvement in the 'altercation' was to be the recipient of a blow struck by an individual that is twice his size.
Maybe Jack's radio was on the blink. A tape of Busch's radio conversation Sunday with crew chief Jimmy Fennig indicated he might have purposely tried to expand on the "rubbin' is racin'" theory:
Busch: ''See, I'm not very good at being bad. I was trying to flatten the [No.] 7 car [Spencer] fender and I got mine. I needed to be further forward on his car.''
Fennig: ''They just showed that on TV. You just missed by about an inch or two. Ah, not far enough forward.''
