Earnhardt, Mears Get Probation For Bumper Car Driving

A six race probation to be exact.
Here is a 1:00 min clip of what happened.
Not a bad punishment I guess - I mean they both used their cars to run into each other after all.
I personally don't have an issue with how both Earnhardt and Mears handled themselves at the end of the race on Saturday. Earnhardt hit Mears on the cool down lap and spun him at a slow speed with really no risk to Mears or anyone else and Mears drove into the back of Dale's car on pit row - not too hard mind you, just enough to say "Hey screw you too!"
No harm, no danger, no real foul.
Now if these guys took it up a level like Carl Edwards did a few years back when he did a Cole Trickle on Dale Jr at Michigan in the Busch Series race then I'd have a problem.
What is your take? Should NASCAR have punished them or not?

Agree with penalty
The six-race probation for Dale Jr. and Casey Mears is the same penalty that Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch received after there incident last August at Bristol Motor Speedway,
You know when Carl Edwards gave Kyle Busch the bump and run with several laps to go and won the race, so Busch decided on the cool down lap to show his displeasure by hitting Carl in the drivers door three times and then Carl spun Kyle out right after that.
Like I said about the same incident, about the same penalty, I agree with NASCAR, now let’s go racing.
Bang on Brother
One thing for sure is that NASCAR has finally started getting consistent with their penalties over the last few years.
Get rid of the penalties for stuff like this. NASCAR needs more people watching and this adds excitement
