I think Harvick shouldn't have even gotten penalized. Busch should have though because of the dumping of the car.

Robby Gordon got put on probation for the rest of the season for a physical altercation with Conway early this season. So if Harvick had actually gotten the chance to fight with him, then the fine/probation could have been much worse. Busch avoided it, albeit not very intelligently, but he got the same penalty. The "Boys, have at it" Policy is kind of like the fines and suspensions in other sports, at the discretion of the governing body/commisioner. Some get fined, some don't, its dependent on a number of factors, including your 'standing' as a driver and past incidents. The fines and probation seem to be appropriate given that a physical altercation didn't occur but was intended to be started by Harvick. :tu
