I guess that's why and rightly so. I seem to remember a big fine handed out by NASCAR for a similar offence?
Asking for fans to pay the fine is just poor form in my eyes.
Surely he could've just waited another three minutes to take his pictures?
EDIT:
Just checked, Brad Keselowski was fined 25000$ just for having a phone in his car. He got caught sending tweets during a red flag.
A phone can be helpful during a 24h race, I don't think it should be in a race car for qualifying or sprint races though.
