CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR fined Kurt Busch US$50,000 on Friday for his poor behaviour during the Sprint Cup finale last weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR cited both an obscene gesture Busch made inside his car and him being verbally abusive to a reporter in fining the 2004 Cup champion. "Kurt Busch showed disrespect toward a media member, an incident that followed similar inappropriate media confrontations earlier in the season," NASCAR said in a statement announcing the penalty. Busch had a transmission problem early in Sundays race that sent his Penske Racing Dodge to the garage. His in-car camera caught him making an obscene gesture during that time. While his team made repairs, Busch waited to be interviewed by an ESPN reporter, and a fan videotaped Busch being verbally abusive while waiting to go live. That video was posted on YouTube, and both Penske officials and Busch have apologized in separate statements for his behaviour. "Unfortunately, our result in the season-ending race at Homestead on Sunday was not what we had hoped for as a team," he said. "In my frustration with the loss of my transmission early in the race, I let my emotions get the better of me. I regret having done this and apologize to the sponsors of Penske Racing, to NASCAR, its fans, to the media and in particular, Dr. Jerry Punch." Penske officials said earlier this week that Buschs "inappropriate actions" were being reviewed internally. "These actions do not represent Penske Racing and are inconsistent with the companys standards for behaviour, respect for others and professionalism," the team said in a statement. The penalty comes just days after Busch crew chief Steve Addington quit the team, and three weeks to the day that Buschs younger brother, Kyle, intentionally wrecked Ron Hornaday Jr. under caution in a Truck Series race. NASCAR suspended Kyle Busch for the remainder of the weekend at Texas -- he was entered in both the Nationwide and Cup events -- and fined him $50,000 for the Hornaday wreck. He then spent the next week fighting to keep his seat with Joe Gibbs Racing because sponsor M&Ms was embarrassed by his actions. He lost all composure during a race at Richmond in May, when he berated his team and Penske management over his in-car radio. Buschs sponsor Shell/Pennzoil said in a statement it was disappointed with the driver. "Shell and Pennzoil are disappointed with recent actions by driver, Kurt Busch, at the final race of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race season," the company said in a statement. "His actions are in no way consistent with the way we want our brands represented and we have expressed our disappointment and concerns directly to Penske Racing." At the same track in September, he had an angry post-race confrontation on pit road with another reporter, then continued the argument before his formal news conference. He also ripped apart another reporters papers the same evening. Busch was a two-time winner this season and opened the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship confident he could be the one to dethrone five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson -- his nemesis. Although he beat Johnson at Dover in the third Chase race, he faded as rumours spread Addington was bolting. Busch wrecked at Talladega, ran out of gas while leading at Phoenix and had the transmission problem at Homestead. He ended the season 11th in the final standings. Kyle Busch, who opened the Chase tied for the top seed, finished 12th. Neither Busch brother will be part of the formal ceremony at next weeks banquet in Las Vegas -- their hometown. Its not clear what action, if any, team owner Roger Penske will take against Kurt Busch. Hes remained largely silent when Busch has acted out in the past, but the emergence of teammate Brad Keselowski has given Penske reason not to tolerate Buschs behaviour any longer. Keselowski, in his second Cup season, won three races this season and finished fifth in the final standings. Hes also become a fan favourite for his outspokenness -- candour that proved last week can get him in trouble: Keselowski was fined $25,000 by NASCAR for comments critical of electronic fuel injection.

The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 per cent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia.

The visitors missed a host of good chances to win the game, and were left to rue substitute Ivo Ilicevics strike against the crossbar in the 86th minute, when he only had the goalkeeper to beat.I cant remember the last time there was less fanfare over the New York Yankees being in Toronto. Of course, that was because the Blue Jays completely stole the spotlight on and off the diamond. First, there was the Brett Lawrie helmet-throwing, run-in with homeplate umpire Bill Miller Tuesday night against Tampa Bay followed by Lawries subsequent four-game suspension and then the dropping of his appeal. Thrown in the middle of that was the optioning of struggling Adam Lind to Las Vegas so he can try to regain his stroke and his confidence. Call-up Yan Gomes debuted at third base and went 2-for-3 against the Yankees in the 4-1 victory Thursday night that completed the two-game sweep of the punchless Bronx Bombers. You cant debate the Jays using their final option on Lind to send him down. Hes almost been a non-factor at the plate since the All-Star Game last year. The Jays have had success in the past sending the likes of Roy Halladay and Edwin Encarnacion down to work on their games, but they also had players like Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill who never recaptured their glory years form once they lost it. Sending Lind down was worth a shot, but really thats all it is, a shot and maybe a long one at that. It was a bit strange to see Lawrie drop his appeal and start serving his suspension against an AL East rival like the Yankees. But after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Wednesday night, maybe it was just better Brett got a break from this particular umpiring crew. To his credit, Brett did apologize for the helmet-throwing incident. Gomes, the first Brazilian-born player to make it to the Majors, is up at least through the weekend seriies against the New York Mets.dddddddddddd However, Jays general manager Alex Anthopolous suggested more roster moves could be coming Monday when Lawrie returns. That could include the call-up of a first basemen like David Cooper or Mike McDade. Wright on Blue Jays fans didnt get the chance to see Josh Hamilton when Texas hit town due to a back issue. They will get to see the National League version of what Hamilton is doing this weekend. David Wright of the Mets is hitting .411 to Hamiltons .399. Wright has an option year left on his contract worth $16 million dollars for next season. The Mets would do well to try and sign him now. When they took their former star shortstop Jose Reyes to his option year last season, he walked to Miami as a free agent this past off-season. The Mets cant afford to risk having that happen with Wright. The Mets are surprisingly holding down the second Wild Card slot in the NL with a 21-17 record. They have a better record than the Yankees, despite having a bullpen that includes former Jays John Rauch and Frank Francisco that is tied for the Major League lead with nine blown saves. Interleague thoughts Interleague play has never been kind to the Jays. In 15 years, theyve only had two winning seasons against National League clubs (1998 and 2008). The Jays all-time Interleague record is 123-142. Truthfully, I think its time to curtail or even eliminate Interleague play and go back to a balanced schedule. Its the only way to make the race to the post-season truly fair.
