Default 100 K Fine

NHRA fined Don Schumaher 100K Saturday for a fuel violation. Damn, how long has this been going on? How many races how many championships might have been different?

I guess you're not guilt until a trial, but 4 drums of fuel in the pit is ample proof isn't it? I guess the rules are found in a couple of different pages. Isn't Schumacher smart enough to tell someone I have a different fuel because you're rule book isn't complete? Let the fine stand!!

Every Professional Sport has it's issues. Oh well hell it's entertainment not life or death.

I could be wrong but he said that he didn't use any of it. Does he get the fine just for having it on hand or for using it?

The rules state that only approved fuels can be brought on site. So yes just having it is enough to get in trouble.
