At least for the next six races, anyway.

The two drama queens rivals gave a literal interpretation of “crash course” last Friday during a Bud Shootout practice. After the unfriendly bump-and-grind session, rumors emerged that there was an off-track follow-up with fists. (Say that three times fast. For even more fun, do that after a drink or two).

Both drivers are on a six-race probation, beginning with the Daytona 500. The purported bitchslapping incident isn’t the reason, though—they’re being reprimanded for the on-track antics.

But six races from now, get your tub of popcorn ready for the next installment of the Bitchslap Chronicles . . . ’cause chances are there will be more drama, sooner or later.

Slap-Happy NASCAR Drivers on Probation

NASCAR drivers Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch had a pre-Bud Shootout scuffle on the racetrack Friday night so immature even a pair of archenemy 7-year-olds would say, “Guys, act your age, not your shoe size.”

Here’s a snippet from the FOXNews rundown of the episode:

Busch attempted to block Stewart and got hit from behind, damaging both cars. Busch retaliated by slamming into the side of Stewart’s car twice as they drove back toward the garage. Stewart then used his car to block Busch from entering the garage.

The not-confirmed, not-denied word from the pit is that the fists flew afterwards, when Busch insulted Stewart and the latter let his fist to the talking. Both men received a warning from NASCAR officials but no fines at the time of post.

Stewart and Busch have a history of not hearting each other. We’re pretty sure they won’t be sending each other Valentine’s Day cards this year, either.
