IndyCar fines Panther Racing owner for tweet Apr 28th 2012, 15:04 SAO PAULO –  IndyCar has fined Panther Racing owner John Barnes and placed him on probation until the end of the year for posting a critical comment on Twitter. IndyCar said Saturday that Barnes was fined $25,000 and put on probation until Dec. 31 for using "improper or disparaging language in reference to IndyCar." Barnes can appeal the penalties. He admitted in a statement he "should have chosen a more private forum to voice my opinions." The Panther owner tweeted on Thursday: "Today is the day to resolve TURBOGATE! I hope (at)indcar gets their act together. It has been embarrassing." He was referring to a hearing to decide whether Honda would be allowed to make changes to its turbochargers, which eventually happened. Panther Racing uses Chevrolet engines.
