NASCAR fined Kurt Busch $50,000 and placed on probation until July 25 for driving recklessly on pit road during the Sprint Cup Series race Saturday night at Darlington Raceway and for hitting Ryan Newman's car on pit road following the event.
NASCAR also handed out penalties to three crew members who were involved in a shoving match sparked by Busch's actions following the Bojangles Southern 500. (More)

It's Wednesday again. Time to take the ol' Mini Stock out of the garage and dust it off for a test spin around the cul-de-sac at the end of the street...
THERE ARE REALLY only two tracks on the ACT Late Model Tour schedule that get the full-time teams on the Tour even remotely nervous – Thunder Road International Speedbowl, the hub of ACT, and Oxford Plains Speedway.
Unfortunately for the ACT teams, they're headed to Oxford Plains this weekend for the Armed Forces Day 150.
The ACT model, in case you're not familiar or new to crate-engine Late Model racing in the northeast, is to have a core of 12-15 full-time touring teams competing at tracks where there are another 15-20 weekly Late Model teams competing under ACT rules. In most cases, whether it's Lee USA Speedway or White Mountain Motorsports Park, that's the case. And in most of those cases, the full-time ACT teams almost always have the advantage.
But Oxford, like Thunder Road, presents an entirely different animal. History has proven that both tracks are hard to figure out – let alone master – even for the teams that compete there every week, season after season. Throw those curveballs at a Tour team that only stops in a few times each season, and the chaos is multiplied exponentially.
