Would love a high-res of Smith crossing the line/doing burnouts if they exist?

I couldn't believe that Harvick left his car in neutral, probably not something you think about when suffering from road rage but most teams I've ever worked with prefer the car to be left in gear to stop it, err, from rolling away, not like you can pull the hand brake on in one of them...

NASCAR will look into driver altercations: NASCAR will address altercations that occurred between Ryan Newman and Juan Pablo Montoya in the sanctioning body's hauler and the dustup on and off the track between Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch. "We'll look at both of those," Kerry Tharp, NASCAR's senior director of communications, said Sunday morning. Montoya requested a meeting with NASCAR after his feud with Newman was reignited at Richmond International Raceway last weekend. Newman and officials from Stewart Haas Racing elected to meet with NASCAR immediately after the Richmond race. When the drivers gathered in the hauler on Friday morning, a punch was thrown by Newman, according to sources. Harvick vs. Busch came to a crescendo last November at Homestead Miami Speedway when the driver of the #29 complained that Busch was racing him too hard and Harvick then dumped Busch's #18 Toyota, which erupted into flames. The rivalry was rekindled Saturday night at Darlington Raceway on the second-to-last restart on Lap 363 as the drivers jockeyed for position among the top 10 on the lead lap. After the race, Harvick chased Busch onto the entrance of pit road, where the #29 crew waited to defend their driver. Harvick climbed from the car and approached Busch's vehicle. Harvick attempted to throw a haymaker, but Busch hit the gas and plowed the #29 into the wall. Both drivers were called to the NASCAR hauler after the incident. The last time a NASCAR driver intentionally hit another car on pit road was Steven Wallace at Memphis Motorsports Park in October 2009. Wallace was fined $5,000 and placed on probation.(Fox Sports)(5-9-2011)

Always been curious, how come the 78 doesn't run Chevy decals? Wonder if that will change following this race.

Predictions for what lap Harvick wreaks Busch should be in place.

Couple of notes on the situation after hearing some discussion on the Sirius NASCAR station...

Kyle Petty was on the morning show yesterday and he made a really good point about the officials' lack of action on pit road. The drivers had made a move for pit road, jumped back to the track for a good 30 seconds, then went back on pit road and just sat for a fairly long time. Yet at no point were any officials really on hand in time to do anything about it. Petty made the point that most other sports will have officials jumping right in to stop altercations as soon as they see trouble. Anyway, in all the madness I never really even noticed the lack of action on their part and I think it's a great observation on KP's part.
