Rusty pays his fine with pennies

On Friday, with no Winston Cup practice scheduled, Rusty Wallace had an armored truck deliver the fine in pennies, 500,000 of them, to NASCAR at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He was unaware that NASCAR already had received a check for $5,000, but NASCAR president Bill France Jr. went along with the gag, accepting the shipment with a smile.(AP)(10-3-97)
