Stewart’s crew smoking after pit hazard with Busch

Wow, I missed this part. I thought that Busch just pulled up next to Tony. I didn’t realize that Busch Hit Stewart’s car in the pits NASCAR.com has a 3 page story about it. Here’s an excerpt.
But the most fortunate aspect of the day, for both teams but mostly for Busch and Stewart’s jack man Jason Lee, was that Busch’s No. 2 Penske Racing Dodge didn’t strike Lee when Busch intentionally ran into Stewart’s car, which was parked on pit road.
Lee, who said Stewart “probably” would have hit him, wasn’t in a mood to accept any apology.”I was working on our car and I just saw our car start moving, I looked up and saw [Busch] in the side of it,” Lee said. “Who knows what he was thinking, [but] he just needs to think about things before you do stuff like that. I didn’t do anything to him, and I wasn’t involved in the incident.”
“What matters is they want pit-road safety and they got a guy doing a bonehead move like that,” Lee said. “We all got families to go home to at night. If he’s got a problem with Tony he needs to take it up with Tony in the motorhome lot after the race, and not jeopardize these crew guys out there.
I was shocked and I hope he gets life!!
I doubt they’ll give him life but a few weeks are called for (and not just him but the entire team. Don’t even bother bringing your car to the track) plus a big fine, plus a big points hit. Not one of those 24 points $10,000 ones. More like 100 points and $100,000.
