((HT: LP2008/NASCAR/NASCARImages/ESPN))

And the HQ doesn't necessarily mean in a good way...

Piquet and Brian Scott got into it in the race last night in Richmond and it ended only in the way that makes live television live television...

In a pit crew fight...
Evidence below...


In the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper this morning, we now know that there have been arrests involving pit crew members as a carryover from the incident on TV.

Michael Scearce, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault. Thomas Costello was charged with one misdemeanor count of assault. The two were charged and released early this morning. Both are on the Scott crew.

From the Times-Dispatch:

"One of the two adult male victims has a shoulder injury," Toney said.

“Henrico Police are investigating a verbal argument that started in the infield area of RIR that escalated into a physical altercation near the Driver/Owner Lot,” Lt. Linda Toney said in a news release. “The assault occurred at approximately 11:15 p.m.”
