NHRA levies fine against John Force
Thursday, September 10, 2009
Funny Car racer John Force has been fined $10,000 by NHRA for an incident involving physical contact with an NHRA official Monday, Sept. 7, during the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
Videotape from the event showed Force making physical contact with an NHRA official at the top end of the racetrack during a confrontation with fellow Funny Car driver Tony Pedregon. Such physical contact violates the Participant Conduct policy as stated in the 2009 NHRA Rulebook. The fine, which Force can appeal, must be paid in full prior to participation at any future NHRA event.

I hear they're already using this as a 'drawing card' for Bruton's Show at the Quadplex next week. Hmmmmmm, attendance was down at Indy, ......... confrontation between two stars, ................ new event coming up, .................
Nah, just a coincidence.
