Roger Penske, who will be Busch's new boss, said he was not involved in the decision to suspend Busch.
``Roush Racing has their business decision to make,'' Penske said. ``This situation is unfortunate for high-profile athletes who are under significant scrutiny.
``Kurt made a public apology to the sheriff (Saturday night),'' he added. `` We support him 100 percent for the future and we will work with him to be a great driver.''
NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said sitting Busch was a team decision. Asked if NASCAR would take punitive action, Hunter said, ``We'll let the judicial process take its course. He's got a hearing set in December.
He said NASCAR has not yet spoken with Busch.
``This is not exactly the kind of publicity we like to have in connection with the Chase (for the championship) or the series itself,'' he said.
Busch was not available for comment Sunday.
NASCAR officials have said his behavior is not ``befitting of a champion.''
