The $10K push

Tony Stewart has been fined $10,000 for his actions at a USAC midget race at O’Reilly Raceway Park last week. Those "actions" included knocking an officials' radio to the ground and pushing another USAC employee. See the video. In addition to the fine, Tony Stewart Racing has been placed on probation for the rest of the 2008 USAC season.

The "push heard 'round Indy" happened when Smoke's driver, Tracy Hines, pitted for a tire change, but his car was deemed not ready to re-enter the race of the restart. This angered Stewart. Greatly.

USAC officials fine Stewart for altercation

Stewart can get rather agitated

Tony Stewart had a pretty eventful weekend in Indy. Aside from competing in Sunday's Brickyard, Smoke announced the sponsors and number for next season's Stewart-Haas Racing entry (Home Depot, Old Spice, #14), he also made time to pitch a fit at a USAC-race and push an official. WTHR has obtained video of the incident. Fine forthcoming.

Check it out.

Hornaday thinks Busch is chickenshit

Kyle Busch is predisposed to wrecking people. This is really not groundbreaking news, but it seems his track-actions could be leading to the inevitable ass-whooping, which would be groundbreaking news. (Groundbreaking in the sense that it's fuckin' sweet.)

Ron Hornaday is the latest to set his sights upon the younger-Busch, after Kyle ran him over (twice) in Saturday's Truck Series event in Michigan.
