NASCAR Driver Greg Biffle's Girlfriend Reprimanded For Pit Row Mayhem

Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said wives and girlfriends had a stormy history during NASCAR's early days and many have been thrown out of tracks because of their behavior.

Concord, NC -- Greg Biffle's girlfriend faces a reprimand from NASCAR about her pit-road confrontation with Kurt Busch's fiancee after the two drivers wrecked at Texas Motor Speedway. Busch hit the back of Biffle's car early in Sunday's Nextel Cup race, causing an accident that ended Biffle's day. The defending race winner had led 49 of the first 82 laps before the crash and wound up 42nd. Moments after the wreck, television cameras caught girlfriend Nicole Lunders slamming a water bottle on Biffle's pit box. She then marched down pit road and climbed halfway up Busch's box and had a heated exchange with Eva Bryan. The brief confrontation created a buzz in NASCAR, and the sanctioning body wants to cool down the emotions. Family members are typically given entrance to the track on a "license" that recognizes them as a team member. That means their actions can be policed by NASCAR and the sanctioning body reserves the right to revoke their pass at any time.
