NASCAR Ranting and Raving —
A six race probation to be exact.
Here is a 1:00 min clip of what happened.
Not a bad punishment I guess - I mean they both used their cars to run into each other after all.
I personally don't have an issue with how both Earnhardt and Mears handled themselves at the end of the race on Saturday.
