Question

What exactly does the probation mean for Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards?

Answer 1

not much Stewart won his first championship on probation

Answer 2

As long as they stay out of trouble for the rest of their probation, it doesn't mean anything. If they get into more trouble it means a world of hurt.

Answer 3

it means if they get in trouble, they will be suspended and Kyle might lose his top position in the Chase now and if they don't get in trouble, they're fine

Answer 4

it means Kyle cant go around hitting people with his big ears.

Answer 5

It means stop using cars for weapons and take it out back.

Answer 6

Kyle's answer:  "I don't think it means that if you get into another driver and spin him out that you're going to get suspended for a race. I think it has to do with the way that you got on probation, that if you do the same thing that you did again that the repercussions are going to go up with possibly a suspension or something like that. Keep your post-race antics down to a minimum. I would have to get the correct wording from NASCAR if I took out another driver if I would get suspended for it, but I don't believe that's the case."

Carl's answer:  "As a driver, you should never let your emotions get you. But we do, you know. All of us do.  So probation is one of those things with my crew chief in my ear, and Jack [Roush] making sure I don't go out there and do something dumb. I'm not worried about being on probation. I just have to be a little extra careful not to let my emotions get the best of me."

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston:  "In the past we've used 'probation for the rest of the year,' but it's never been something that's been exercised," Poston said back in February. "It never seemed to really mean anything. Now we are going to take action. If you are on probation for an altercation with another driver, and you have a second incident during that probation period, we are going to take action."

Answer 7

Ramsey Poston made it clear. If either driver gets into an altercation action will be taken. He said nothing about if it was with eachother or not.

Usually probation means that once placed on it if you mess up in any way shape or form further action will be taken to include any penalties thought of before the next incident.

So if Kyle or Carl get involved in any other altercation with eachother or anyone else in the next 6 races NASCAR will address it then. If they take care not to let their tempers flair on the track they will be fine. Just in time for Martinsville but you can bet NASCAR will still be watching them both....

Answer 8

It means they need to stay out of trouble.  For atleast the next 6 races.

I seen that Carl has forgot about last week, but Kyle not so forgiving.   Let's see what happens shall we.
