NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 car in the Sprint Cup Series, $25,000 and placed him on probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during this past Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Kyle Busch violated Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing -- inappropriate gesture and verbal abuse to NASCAR Officials) of the 2010 NASCAR Rule Book.
"I accept NASCAR's penalty and realize what I did during Sunday's race at Texas was inappropriate," Busch said in a statement.
"Even in my relatively short time here in NASCAR, it's pretty obvious to everyone that I wear my emotions on my sleeve. Sometimes that passion has allowed me to find that little something extra I needed to win, and other times it's made me cross the line. Sunday at Texas was one of those days.
"I lost my cool, plain and simple. It's not acceptable, and I know that. I apologize to NASCAR, its fans, all the partners who support Joe Gibbs Racing, and all the people who work so hard to give me a race car that's capable of winning races every week. All of those people deserve better from me, and I owe it to them to keep my emotions in check."
