Fresh off the e-mail from NASCAR central ...
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has placed drivers Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch on probation for the first six races of the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, a result of their on-track altercations this past Friday during practice for the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona.
Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Toyota and Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge, violated Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing; altercation with another competitor) of the NASCAR rule book.
The probations start Wednesday (Feb. 13), as practice begins for the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.
Personally, I would have thought that Busch would have gotten a stiffer penalty than Stewart ... unless that is, Stewart really did punch him in the face.
According to AP, Ramsey Poston, NASCAR's PR guy, says that the fines and stuff were only a result from the actions that took place on the track.

I would like to think that Stewart punches like a little girl and that's why nobody knows if it happened.
