NASCAR has fined Richard Childress $150,000 for his altercation with Kyle Busch in the garage area following the Camping World Truck Series race. He has also been placed on probation for the rest of the year. Kyle Busch will receive no penalties since he was not deemed the aggressor in this situation. Busch is already on probation for an incident with RCR driver Kevin Harvick.
Statement from NASCAR: "The penalty we have announced today for Richard Childress reflects NASCAR's response to the incident at Kansas Speedway on Saturday. We feel this action is appropriate and are confident all parties involved understand our position on this matter and will move forward appropriately."
Statement from Childress: "First of all, I'm responsible for my actions, plain and simple. As you know, I am a very principled person and have a passion for what we do at Richard Childress Racing. I believe passionately in defending my race teams and my sponsor partners. In this instance, I let that passion and my emotions get the best of me. I accept the penalty NASCAR announced today and, as a company, we will now focus on this week's races at Pocono Raceway and Texas Motor Speedway."
