A NASCAR penalty is likely for Busch Series driver Ron Hornaday following his use of profanity during a live radio interview in Saturday’s MBNA America 200 at Dover International Speedway. Hornaday was hit from behind by Greg Biffle on Lap 15 of 200 and hit the Turn 2 wall. Motor Racing Network interviewed Hornaday after he brought his #2 Chevrolet to the garage. Asked what happened in the incident, Hornaday replied: “Same Biffle. He said before the race he wasn’t going to take no s**t from nobody. I arced it in there and he tapped me. I hate to say that. He got Robby (Gordon) yesterday because he was upset because he pulled in front of him. They got no patience for nobody I guess.” NASCAR has cracked down on the use of profanity by drivers during live TV and radio interviews. Johnny Sauter was penalized $10,000, placed on probation through the end of the year and was stripped of 25 driver points for the use of profanity during a post-race interview at Las Vegas this season.(ThatsRacin.com)(6-5-2004)
