He was docked 100 driver points, 100 owner points, fined $100,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31st. I think NASCAR should have suspended him as well.

How did he not get suspended for a race or two or more? Harvick spun someone out on the track in a truck race years ago and got suspended for a cup race. No crew members were in danger then.
Good old NASCAR inconsistent and pissing off the fans. The prefer certain drivers and take car of certain driver. Oh, he is a past Champion, lets go lighter on him.
Go to Pocono this weekend and hold up a sign behind the SPEED stage that says "PARK KURT BUSCH".
Anybody going?

Kamikaze Kurt
Kurt nearly wiped out Stewart's Jackman, Jason Lee, who had to dive onto the hood of Stewart's car to escape serious injury from another one of Kurt's adolescent temper tantrums.
I knew that this will never happen, but I've got to say it anyway, it is time for NASCAR to step up and suspend Kurt Busch for a few races because of his pit road actions in Dover. When is our sport's sanctioning body going to exercise some control over the drivers who represent all of us???Here's some perspective for you... Tony Eury Jr. got suspended for six races and fined $100K for having the wrong support brackets mounted on his race car. Since Kurt did'nt receive at least equal punishment for intentionally putting a guy's life in danger then all of NASCAR's safety hype appears bogus.
HANS devices, soft walls, restrictor plates and larger cars have all been implemented to make driver safety number one, but what sort of NASCAR safety devices are in place to safeguard crew members from guys like Kurt Busch intentionally running us over???
Helmets and fire proof shoes? I don't think that's going to be enough. The only protection that crew members really have is NASCAR's responsibility to mandate a sense of control and a priority of safety from each driver while navigating pit road.
I guess now we see where NASCAR's safety priorities are once now THAT we are able to compare Kurt's "punishment" with what Tony Jr. received at Darlington.
Remember Kurt, your annual salary as a driver is five times what we make our entire careers... even if you can't show any respect for your sponsors, your fans or how you represent Roger Penske, try to grow up and show some professionalism and class as a driver.

Damn straight he should have been suspended for at least one race.
Michael Waltrip got docked 100 points and fined $100,000 for having an improper fuel additive.
Dale Jr. got docked 100 points and fined $100,000 for having an incorrect mounting bracket.
Kurt Busch runs into a parked car on pit road and jeopardizes pit crew safety and gets the same?
WTF???

You know I hate the Busch brothers also, I think his actions were sever and the punishment was just. If it was yours or my favorite driver we would all be saying that the punishment was not fair. I think we should go back to the old days and let the drivers settle their own battles with their fist. You get the crap beat out of you a couple times you tend to remember that longer than points taken away.

I think that they should give him a 3 race suspension and dock him 100 points and fine him $100 .00 and suspend his crew cheif for 3 races as well.

I agree, he should have been suspended from 2 or 3 races. Yes Pensche should have been penalized as well. It's his driver and he is responsible for his driver's actions. After all, look at what Roush did after he made the media news for his "reckless" driving in Phoenix, AZ.

LOL HAHAHA
If it was one of your golden chevy boys you'd be pissed he was accused of it let alone punished. The fact that he didn't get pentalized is great, I hope he hits his jackman this week. And then maybe Tony's crew will talk him into not hitting people. It is silly to think he really would have hit that crew man. Even Nascar realizes that.

I say, let em race. Nascar has a rule for every rule so that the rules are not broken. AND they change the rules every week which should be against the rules. Tony would have did the same thing and everyone knows it. I don't care for Kurt but he was only doing what his spotter said. Now stopping on pit road was dumb ane we all know that he is dumb.

I think 3 race suspension. I also think penske should not be docked car points. This was a Kurt thing not a team thing
