Dale Earnhardt was fined $25000 by NASCAR.  No word on what, if anything,
NBC is going to have to pay.  Note:  unlike the Janet Jackson, this is
clearly indecent, unless "shit" did not refer to excretory activities or
functions.

The Blazing Saddles quote is apt.

Apparently not.
Dale Earnhart got fined for saying "shit"  in a fit of impropriety after
he won a Nascar race the other weekend.
