Will Power's obscene gesture after the New Hampshire race will cost him $30,000. The Australian driver was fined and put on probation for the rest of the IndyCar season Thursday because of his actions following the aborted restart on a wet track Aug. 14. He will also have the option of working off the fine by making a series of appearances for the series. The big crash came with about 10 laps to go and forced race officials to red-flag the event. Brian Barnhart, the series president of competition, later decided the race should not have restarted and opted to use the restart order as the final result -- a decision upheld Wednesday after two other teams protested. "I understand that the series has to make a reasonable effort to ensure that this type of behavior will not be repeated by anyone else in the future," Power said in a statement released by his team. "I have expressed my feelings about the incident that prompted my poor behavior, and I've apologized and continue to regret the inappropriate gesture I made as well."
