Penalties have been levied to two NASCAR Nationwide Series teams
as a result of their involvement in separate post-race incidents following last
Friday’s race at Richmond International Raceway.
Thomas Costello and Michael Scearce, both crew members for the No.
2 team, have each been fined $15,000 and suspended from NASCAR until the
completion of the next four NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship events. They
have also been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Both Costello and
Scearce were found to be in violation of Section 12-1 (Actions detrimental to
stock car racing. Involved in an altercation with another competitor after the
race had concluded).
Drivers Nelson Piquet Jr. (No. 30 car) and Brian Scott (No. 2 car)
have been placed on NASCAR probation until June 26 for violating Section 12-1
and their involvement in an on-track altercation with their two cars after the
race had concluded.
Crew chiefs Chris Carrier (No. 30 car) and Phil Gould (No. 2 car)
have likewise been placed on NASCAR probation until June 26 as a result of the
on-track incident between their two drivers.

ReplyDeleteIf you pushed me, I'd kick ya straight in the bean bags too!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Childress' lawyers can't use this fine in court to mitigate the severity of the punishment, if they plead or are convicted. Once a guy, the photographer, goes to the ground and gets the boots put to him, the chances for serious injury increase exponentially. Plus, Scearce needs an attitude adjustment, smirking for the mugshot and all.
