If you're caught after the race is over, then you should finish at the back of the field, and repeat offenders should be banned for life after four offenses. The harsher the penalties, the less likely you'll catch guys with their wranglers down.
In the era that Richard Petty cheated, they called it "Pettygate." Maybe this era should be named "Knausgate."
They're all chasing the same thing: wins, championships and fame. If you want to be a champion you must first know how to act like one and play by the rules.
So, punching someone for running into you is not a champion like move. Or intentionally spinning someone out, after all, when you have the wheel of a 3,500 pound stock car and you want to play tag; you're putting others at risk.
Plus, think before you speak. You're someone's role model and cursing on national television doesn't sit well with others.
You shouldn't have fans (the ones who help pay your salary) losing respect for you and competitors not wanting to race with you.
So, the next time you want to "try" something different, remember something said about drinking: be responsible and careful, because everything has consequences.
Sidenote:
In 2006 and 2007 Chad Knaus was caught cheating which resulted in fines both monatary and in points. He was also suspended for four weeks in 2006 and then six in 2007. This has caused many to question whether Jimmie Johnson's championships are tainted.
