NASCAR Fines Kurt Busch

NASCAR fined Kurt Busch $50-thousand on Tuesday for wreckless driving and a post-race altercation with Ryan Newman's crew members.  Busch was also placed on probation through July 25th for the incident.  The altercation stemmed from when Busch got a flat tire that caused him to spin with six laps remaining in the race.  He proceeded to do a burnout through Newman's pit stall after stopping to repair his car.
