NASCAR fined Busch $50,000 just last week after he verbally abused an ESPN reporter. NASCAR has “cited a pattern of previous incidents with reporters for fining Busch.”

Busch has stated that he is seeing a psychologist, and that his recent actions were “inappropriate.”

Roger Penske decided that a race at Homestead-Miami Speedway would be Busch’s last, following the ESPN reporter incident, along with other temper flare-ups.

NASCAR and the CDJ (Chrysler, Dodge & Jeep) unveiled their all new Dodge Challenger Stock Car at an event this past weekend – designed for Penske Racing and will debut at NASCAR’s Nationwide Series. Both of Penske’s Nationwide drivers, Justin Allgaier and Brad Keselowski, are slated to pilot Challengers in the 2010 series. As far as we know neither are off eating tacos.

NASCAR will allow the Challenger to compete in four “New Car” races next season. For the other 31 races, both Allgaier and Keselowski will pilot their Dodge Charger stock cars. Challenger’s first race will be held at Daytona in July 2010, with a possible Talladega test run sometime soon.
