wonder how old MJ will like having to pay fines.
Ten grand? That’s pocket change for MJ.
He’s got ten times that in his pocket for a round of golf with his friends.
The money is nothing. They should take away points, that’s were it hurts. Or penalize positions. On the flip side of that ten grand for a loose lug nut but if you fail inspection you only start in the back. A lug nut is a mistake, failing inspection multiple times means you are trying to get away with something my opinion is that nascar should revise the penalty book
