NASCAR suspends #10 crew member

The #10 Valvoline crew member that shoved Kevin Harvick in a post-race incident at Texas has been fined $10,000 and suspended indefinitely for the altercation.  The team will not appeal the penalty, in fact they agree with it.

A statement from the team - After a comprehensive internal review of the post-race incident between Kevin Harvick and a member of the No. 10 team, Valvoline Evernham Racing supports NASCAR's decision to indefinitely suspend the involved crew member.

We apologize to Kevin and DeLana Harvick, NASCAR, our partners and our fans for this incident. The behavior demonstrated by the involved crew member was in violation of the Valvoline Evernham Racing Employee Code of Conduct and will not be tolerated.

"We concur with NASCAR's ruling and will not appeal the suspension or fine.

I wonder if Evernham Racing will let this guy go?  I guess it all depends on how valuable he is to the team. 

Your thoughts?  Was NASCAR right in its decision or too harsh?
