DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Ticker) -- Winston Cup driver Joe Nemechek was fined $15,000 today by NASCAR officials after his rough driving Saturday at Lowe's Motor Speedway in the non-points event The Winston.

Nemechek was penalized under Section 12-4-A of the rule book -- actions deemed by NASCAR Officials as detrimental to stock car racing -- for an incident with Steve Park.

Park initially made slight contact with Nemechek, who maintained control but in return bumped Park and caused a small chain reaction with Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart.
