So Busch slammed his car into Stewart like a battering ram, Stewart retaliated, then punched Busch... now they're on probation.

Ahhhh NASCAR.... so silly. Not that Daytona won't be good without them. It will be sweeeet!

Busch and Stewart, you will be missed

Well the release said probation for 6 races. Not suspension.

Where do you get that they won't be in the Daytona 500, unless I'm misreading your statement you seem to imply that they will not be in the race. I do not think that is the case.

Busch was on probation for the whole second half of last year.....

This is how NASCAR.com is reporting the story.

NASCAR.COM - Stewart, Ku. Busch placed on probation for six races - Feb 12, 2008

I just reread it and all it says is 6 race probation. There is a thin threat that if there is a repeat violation while on probation, __SC__ will take action. What a typically BS statement by a ruling body that lacks the backbone to pin themselves down and be specific. If you do it again we'll park you for 1 or more races and take away points. They don't want to be specific because they are afraid to park a leading driver. If Robbie acts up watch out, they'll glue his behind to the bench. I'll believe that they will take action against Tony [Not $$'s but points and splinters] when I see it and not before.

Oops I guess I didn't read that clearly! I also saw that now they are letting the players "express more emotion" on the track... So does that mean punching people is kosher? That's pretty weird.

I'm sorry... as much as I'm frustrated with Stewart I don't see any reason to put him on probation.... he didn't deliberately wreck busch... but Busch however, did intentionally hit Stewart and above all it was on pit road, again. That makes Busch a repeat offender.

waddaya want? that was the first time Kurt was able to catch Smoke! it's not his fault Tony hits and then runs to the pits... but they kissed and made up........later.

Kurt's in Duel #1 and Tony's in Duel #2, so they won't meet up again until the big show on Sunday!

Damnit man... I wanted to see Tony take Busch out in a duel race and force big ears to start in the back with a backup

Yep, this is crap. Pure crap. So the lesson Busch learns is make sure to hit the other drivers car, then avoid him until you get in the hauler.

What garbage...

I hate Kurt, and the NASCAR brass, more than ever. Yet another gutless call.

Wait a minute ...

Busch attempted to block Stewart and got hit from behind, damaging both cars. Busch retaliated by slamming into the side of Stewart's car three times as they drove back toward the garage. Stewart then used his car to block Busch from exiting the track.

I remember the jam, but he intentionally blocked Busch? Looked to me like he "ended up" there due to being slammed by Busch. That would block everyone, not just Busch. But what do I know?

This is all just so ridiculous.

I can't wait for the Duels tomorrow so we can have something new to talk about!
