Police have released the two names of the crewmen from last night's arrest.
Statement from Henrico Police:
"As a result of their investigation, Henrico Police Officers made the following arrests;
Michael A. Scearce, 50 years old, of Mount Ulla, North Carolina, was charged with two counts of assault (misdemeanor charges).
Thomas F. Costello, 35 years old, of Kannapolis, North Carolina, was charged with one count of assault (a misdemeanor charge).
Mr. Scearce and Mr. Costello were charged and released during the early morning hours of Saturday, April 27, 2013.
A court date for both will be determined at a later time.''
Scearce is a mechanic and Costello is an interior specialist. Both are from Brian Scott's Nationwide race team. An earlier incident after the race resulted in Brian Scott and Nelson Piquet Jr. pushing, shoving and kicking on pit road. NASCAR had met with both drivers immediately after the race.
Henrico Police also 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. The assault occurred at approximately 11:15 p.m. Two adult males are in custody as a result of the ongoing investigation. One of the two adult male victims has a shoulder injury.''
