So I turn on the television to Good Morning America and I was somewhat humored by the brawl that broke out after NASCAR driver's, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon had after a race in Texas. NASCAR reports, that the driver's were not fined, but the crew chief of Jeff Gordon, Alan Gustafson was put on probation and fined $50,000 and so was Brad Keselowski's chef. Here is a statement from the the official NASCAR website "Both crew chiefs were found to be in violation of Section 9-4A: Crew chief assumes responsibility for the actions of his team members; Section 12-1: Actions detrimental to stock car racing and Section 12-4.9: Behavioral penalty." My question is, is it fair for the crew chief's to pay at the expense of those who can't control their behavior? I know racing is big business and $50,000 is nothing for them to pay, but who does the payout benefit more, NASCAR or the fans? I believe everyone should be responsible for his or her own action.
