Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson break NASCAR commandment: Thou shalt not swerve image

For the first time, NASCAR on Friday penalized two teams for post-race swerving. And if there is a puzzled look on your face as you read this, you're not alone.

Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson were forced to sit out the first 30 minutes of practice at Kansas. Their penalties were because they failed to adhere what NASCAR officials told all drivers to not do.

Swerving wasn't malicious, aimed at sending a message to another driver in reaction to an in-race reproach.

We'll let this video address the matter with some detail.

Justice is swerved … er, served.

By the way, Busch was fastest in Friday's noon practice. Larson's speeds were middle of the pack.
