DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (October 1, 2013) – Nelson Piquet Jr., driver of the No. 30 car in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, has been fined $10,000, required to participate in sensitivity training as directed by NASCAR, and placed on indefinite probation for violating the sanctioning body’s Code of Conduct policy.
On September 25, Piquet violated Sections 7-5 (Code of Conduct) and 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) of the 2013 NASCAR rule book.
“Nelson Piquet Jr. recently communicated an offensive and derogatory term that cannot be tolerated in our sport,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations. “NASCAR’s Code of Conduct explicitly spells out in the 2013 rule book our position regarding the use of disparaging terms. We expect our entire industry to abide by this Code.”
Nascar drivers have filthy mouths when in the cars and communicating during the races. Bowyer is the leader. Why don’t the suits in NA$CAR do something about that. It is not a place to let a child listen if you don’t want them swearing like sailors.
With everything that NA$CAR is, it is immoral from the top down.
