What is Nascar going to do about the harvick incident after the Texas race?

They issued an indefinite suspension and a $10K fine to the crewmember. Evernham says they will not appeal. Full story below. As to what they SHOULD do...tricky here. The whole deal started on the track with a little "tit-for-tat" payback between Riggs and Harvick, which ended when Harvick pulled up tight on Riggs bumper and pulled the air off him making him loose and causing him to crash hard into the wall. The real issue is that the on-track disagreement spilled over into a full scale ruckus in the pits and a NASCAR official and Harvick's wife got caught up in it. NASCAR has a long history of post-race incidents but they normally are driver to driver or involve just the crew. With an official and a wife being involved the fines/punishment have to be more severe. We wouldn't tolerate this on a football field or a basketball court, if NASCAR is serious about being a premiere sporting event, they can't tolerate it at the track either.

I think it was honest. NASCAR lays the smack down on folks who 'cheat'.\n \nJeff's T-Rex car was totally leagal, but NASCAR outlawed it because it was too good and it would take too much money to bring everyone else up to standard.

I hate it.  They already got rid of the "racing the leader back to the flag" and now the cars are all going to be the same.  As they are making it more competitive for the racers, they are making it boring for the fans.  Not to mention, Nascar is completely losing it's roots.  What happened to going out there and racing with what you got?

I'm a Kevin Harvick girl and can't stand any Hendrick team driver (Gordon, Johnson, Vickers...). I think Hendrick requires them to take a class in whining.

I agree totally! People, shes not saying postpone the race till Monday. All she is saying is what I was thinking. That is why not wait since they have daylight till 8:30 at night to finish the race. I mean come on they stopped how many times for rain delays and then when the race started getting good they called it instead of waiting an hour or so to finish it. But I am with you totally that they should've waited and at least let them go another pit cycle if they could've. I have not seen that many strong cars running at the end like that. Kasey,Carl Edwards, Junior and even my man Kenseth after a crappy day was sitting in 12th and who knows what he had left. I think they were way too quick to call it. But I do think they should've have said once its too dark too race that's it but they had already reached the halfway point so racing on Monday was out of the question no matter what.

Well, given the fact that their sucess is depending on Michael Waltrip Racing, I don't think they will make an impact next year! Dale Jarrett will be carrying the banner for Toyota, unless they get more and better drivers, but I don't think victories are on the horizon for '07.

On Monday, Knaus was suspended from the Daytona 500 and all other activities leading up to the race, just 24 hours after Johnson's car failed post-qualifying inspection in the rear window area.\n\nSources close to NASCAR said Knaus likely will receive further suspensions for California and possibly Las Vegas, reminding that Todd Berrier was suspended for four weeks and fined $25,000 last season for doctoring a fuel cell on Kevin Harvick's car at Las Vegas

I'd start with NASCAR.Com. If that does not work, try Silly Season.com. This is a site that has nothing but NASCAR news and rumors. \n\nI didn't hear their show today, so I'm not sure what else to tell you. You could e-mail the show and see if they can give you more details.

Sounds like people from the 10 team and the Harvicks were exchanging words as they were walking. While this was going on, someone deliberately or accidentally bumped into them and they were both knocked off their feet.  Yep, everyone got called to the Oval Office (as DW calls it).  Didn't hear the part about the foot being run over.  Wouldn't surprise me, though. A lot going on in a small space.  It happens.  Bob Dillner broke the story. I think, so he is going to be REAL careful to get his facts straight this time, especially when Kevin Harvick is concerned.\n\nSpeed Report just did an update--there was yelling and some shoving. Both Kevin and DeLana were knocked down.  A NASCAR official injured his ankle (it sounded like they were in the area of the pit box, which was moving, and the official was trying to break it up).

yeah, they probably would.. nascar haters don't get us or the sport.. ahh well, sucks to be them.. hate it for them. my life is good. i enjoy my sport, and i give a yawn if someone hates the sport i love. i don't really enjoy wwe, but i don't wish death upon their fans..and really, if people got nothing better to do than bag on a sport  that has gone far above proving it's success and popularity than yeah, i suppose they need to move on, cuz we ain't goin' nowhere..

Juan who?  You mean Won Ton Soup, I love that stuff.  F1 drivers will never make it in NASCAR, the snobs thought they would come in and dominate.  Let's just say they were dead wrong.  I agree with you though, their multiple crashes were quite entertaining.  I guess if your name is Juan and you bump Ryan Newman you better get ready for a ride you weren't expecting that ends with a fire spectacular, LOL.  I'm glad he didn't get hurt but I wish they would all go back to their F1 where the nearest car is either 2 seconds in front or behind you.  At least they got a first hand experience of what real racing is.

It was some kind of shoulder/arm injury, he was looked over and released, he should be fine for this weekend.  I guess he took a pretty nasty hit.  Good job Harvick.

Man people are clueless and ignorant, the question says NASCAR!  \n\nI think if a driver can't drive he should lose his points, not have a sub...how fair is that!?!?\n\nI also think they should give tougher penalties, as they are starting to now, on agressive driving...we don't need anymore deaths!  We have too many hotheads (Stewart, Kenseth, Busch brothers, etc.) they should be worrying about the most!\n\nFor the record:  How do any of us KNOW Johnson had a clue what Knaus did, Johnson may have he may not have, WE will never KNOW!  People need to get over it, he got penalized and is still winning, if they cheated anymore...they would've caught it as they did that time!

Actually, this is not true. NASCAR is controlled by Hendrick, Roush, Yates, Childress, and possibly DEI. They all own at least 5-10% stock in ISC, and bought it when Bill France Jr. gave up control of it. Everybody should know this.

I was happy that the 2006 racing season started again... the race was so-so... I hate the fact that the rule changes are already starting... do you remember when it was the WINSTON CUP? We never had as many WEEKLY rule changes... I understand that the sport has grown and more safety pros are involved... but I say, LET THEM RACE! Can't wait to hear what everyone is whining about later on speed and cant wait to hear what Mr. Helton has to restrict before next week's race.... ohhh boy... it wasn't broke, why try to fix it?
