Hey, Mr. France, how many offenses does it take to actually park a driver on probation???

I'd like a word with the head of NA$CAR -- not for putting "Good Ol' DW" in the Hall of Fame (on top of the record he had on the track, his "Boogity Boogity Boogity" should be on every race, not just on the FOX ones...), but for the #18, Kyle Busch.

Since Busch was put on probation (the probation ended today) for his altercation with Kevin Harvick a month ago:
  • Kyle Busch was stopped in North Carolina for doing 128 MPH in a 45 MPH zone! That's an automatic suspension of his Driver's License, and could get him jail time. NA$CAR does nothing, even though there is a "conduct detrimental to the sport" clause...
  • Busch was penalized six points and $25,000 for being 1/16 of an inch too low on his car, WHILE UNDER PROBATION.
  • Busch and car owner Richard Childress got in a fight after a Truck Series race. Busch was completely exonerated, so why Childress was only fined and put on probation himself is just madness!!
  • And now, today, the end of the probation, we find out that NA$CAR has confiscated and ordered changed unapproved oil pans that were found on the cars in Michigan of all three Joe Gibbs cars.
"Boys, have at it!" must stop before someone gets killed.

An unenforced law or "penalty" is no law.

It's clear that the sponsors and TV ratings are the only reason a clear basket case loose-cannon like Kyle Busch is allowed anywhere near a NA$CAR track, and it's one of the reasons I don't watch NA$CAR anymore.
