He knew the rules, he screwed up and now he's paying the price.:hammerit


"NASCAR President Mike Helton made it clear back in February at the drivers meeting at Rockingham that we, as a family sport, were taking this very seriously and adhering to FCC guidelines," Zizzo said. "The timing is unfortunate for Dale Jr., but NASCAR also made it clear to the competitors that we would police the last 10 races just like we did the first 26."

Johnny Sauter was fined and lost 25 points for swearing during a radio interview following a Busch Series race in Las Vegas.
Ron Hornaday Jr. also was hit with a fine and the loss of 25 points after cursing during a live radio interview in June during a Busch race at Dover.

Asked Sunday by NASCAR broadcaster NBC about the significance of his fifth victory at Talladega, Earnhardt said, "It don't mean s--- right now. Daddy's won here 10 times."

I don't agree with the rule, and definitely think it's an overreaction...but since it's in place, kudos to NASCAR for being consistent. If they let Junior slide, that would have been wrong.

YES! :aktion033 Guys, I think it's only fair. He knew good and well when he was being interviewed that he was live on national television just as he and any other driver that have won a race. I can understand if it was a slip, but is wasnt at all because he said damn 2~3 times before he said sh!t!!

Conducting interviews right after the race is stupid IMO, drivers still have the adrenilin pumping through them and are bound to say something offensive, especially with guys like Robbie Gordon and Tony Stewart on the track.
