Last years rule book:
Any driver who, in the judgment of NASCAR officials, intentionally causes, or attempts to cause, a caution (yellow flag) condition by stopping or spinning out or any other action:
a fine, and/or loss of championship points, and/or loss of finishing position in the Event.
From an old NASCAR rule book (1999):
In the General Scope of Penalties section, under Race Procedures:
(N) Any driver who intentionally causes or atempts to cause a caution(yellow flag) condition by stopping or spinning out, or any other action: a fine and/or lap or time penalty.
I would think that someone who has raced with NASCAR as long as Jr. has, would be quite familar with the rule book and should have more common sense than to make the statements which he did; both on the radio during the event and to the media following it.
Maybe a steep fine and moved back to 43rd position for that event would get the spoiled little brat's attention.
Then again, probably could never happen; after all, his name is Earnhardt!
Actually, I'm rather shocked with the whole situation; I honestly thought that Jr. was starting to show a bit more maturity. I guess I gave him too much credit, too soon.
