Raines Penalized for Throwing Helmet



Tony Raines was fined $15,000 and docked 25 Busch Series points for throwing his helmet at Robby Gordon.

Raines was angry at Gordon after Gordon knocked him out of Saturday's race at Dover International Raceway, and he waited on the track for Gordon to pass by under caution. He then hurled his helmet at Gordon.

NASCAR penalized Raines for entering the racetrack surface without authorization and throwing his helmet at a competitor's car. In addition, car owner DeLana Harvick was docked 25 owner points.

I wonder why Robby was fined $25,000 for the same thing.
Maybe just cuz it's Robby.

Robby did it in a Cup race, Raines in a Busch race, I guess.

I don't know for the entertainment value, maybe neither of them should have been fined. The fact that he threw it at Robby, made it all that more funny! My husband and I were cracking up.

He has bad aim, hit the track. At least Robby hit Mikey's window net!

Robby also droped the "S" bomb on TV, so im sure that added to the fine.

Well, on the replay they did from a different angel on Nascar Now, he did hit the front of the car. LOL

Robby's "stunt" has a much better view on a YouTube I watched, too. He was walking in and out of cars! Yikes!! Crazy boys! Yeah the piece of "s" probably added to his fine. I can never watch it without laughing. LOL

The views i seen it hit the track then bounced and hit the front of the car again. Still if it was at the fair, Robby got the stuffed animal.
