The official word has come down from NASCAR regarding the discipline of Kyle Busch. He has been fined $50,000, and placed on probation until December 31st.
While this initially looks like another soft stance by NASCAR, if you read the entire statement it really isn't. Yes, the fine is a joke. Afterall, $50,000 to Kyle Busch is like 50 cents to most of us. However, the NASCAR statement also says, should he take another action that is deemed detrimental or disruptive to the sport, he will be suspended indefinitely.
Kyle Busch will have to be very careful on the track. One overaggressive move could literally cost him his spot at Joe Gibbs Racing, if it hasn't already.
It will also be interesting to see if any drivers go out of their way to rough up Busch, hoping to bring out his evil side. He could literally be pushed around in both of the remaining races, with no chance at retribution.
I can only imagine how much Kevin Harvick would love to mess with him if he wasn't in The Chase.
