2. Kyle Busch gave a race official the finger.

Year of fine: 2010
Estimated total fine: $25,000*.
In automobile racing, it seems that speed is everything. As a result, Kyle Busch had to learn the hard way that there is a place and a time for speeding. The last Nascar champion was actually fined one lap for driving his race car too fast at the Texas Motor Speedway in 2010.

Understandably displeased with the handicap, Busch chose to inform race officials in the only way he knew how. Warning: The finger that was between his ring and index fingers was included. Kyle forfeited $25,000 and two additional laps for disrespecting the official.
