The fines finally came down after the brawl between the crews of Tony Kanaan and Sam Hornish Jr. following a race in Watkins Glen, N.Y., on Sunday and the Indy Racing League didn't go easy on the fellas. Both drivers have been fined an unknown amount and placed on probation for the remainder of the year, while each driver's team was fined $25,000 for unsportmanlike conduct and also placed on probation until 2008.

The most memorable moment from the whole pit road debacle was when Hornish's pops gave a two handed shove to Kanaan and started the big brawl. Daddy was given a one race suspension and got the same probation sentence as everyone else who was involved. We know that the IRL can't put up with this kind of crap from their drivers and crews, but that doesn't mean it wasn't totally entertaining.

If it was up to us, every race would end with a brawl and a bunch of smack talk. It's better than climbing a stupid fence.
