Personally, I'd love to have a go at Harvick myself. :boxing:

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - An unidentified crewman for Scott Riggs' team knocked driver Kevin Harvick, his wife and a NASCAR official to the ground on pit road Sunday, minutes after the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

It was a racing incident. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened to Jr. earlier in the race too. Harvick just got the air out from under Rigg's car. Funny thing is, NASCAR.com says Delana Harvick suffered a twisted ankle, and a NASCAR official injured his leg. :shrug:

The guy's a moron (Riggs). He was three miles an hour slower than Harvick trying to block a car that was clearly faster than him. I think he honestly cost Harvick and Johnson the best chance they had at winning the race. I mean, these are two Chase contenders the guy was monkeying around with. I'm not saying don't race them but don't sit there and hold them up or put them in a situation where they end up wrecking. It's a shame for Kenseth and Gordon who were caught up in it.

I hope NASCAR allows for a criminal investigation.

NASCAR announced Tuesday that Craig Curione, a crew member for the No. 10 Dodge team, has been suspended indefinitely from NASCAR and fined $10,000 for a rule violation he committed following last Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway.

James Rocco, spokesperson for Evernham Motorsports said, "...The behavior demonstrated by the involved crew member was in violation of the Valvoline Evernham Racing Employee Code of Conduct and will not be tolerated."

I have a sneaky feeling Craiggy Boy's done lost his job...

As well he should. There's no room for that behavior anywhere. :yay:
