NASCAR: Silly New Hampshire lug nut penalties (Update)

Kyle Busch apparently will not be penalized for his actions Sunday afternoon at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

During caution laps after his early controversial wreck in the Foxwoods 301, Busch multiple times bumped into the rear of the pace car. Competition officials later said the incident would be addressed in Tuesday’s penalty report.

But the report offered no mention of Busch, and thus he seemingly avoided any punishment.
