Kyle Busch fails Pocono post race inspection
Kyle Busch's third place finishing car in Sunday's 5-Hour Energy 500 at Pocono raceway failed post race inspection. Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was found to be too low after NASCAR officials inspected it three times following Sunday's race. Busch's left front was too low and NASCAR will take the car back to its R&D Center in Concord, N.C. While he will be allowed to keep his third place finish a fine and points penalty will more than likely be assessed. "it's the last thing I expected - I have as many questions as you," said crew chief Dave Rogers. from CBSSportsline (link below) http://eye-on-nascar.blogs.cbssports...81720/29991657 |
Should be interesting how the points penalty works out. Years past it was 150 points or roughly 85 percent of the winners possible points. So, assuming they don't puss out, that should be 35 points or so.

Good call K-stater. I hadn't thought about it, but you're right, 150 is what they got Bowyer last year for the exact same infraction, essentially eliminating him from Chase contention.

SIX points? That's a ****ing joke.
Article below Sprint Cup SeriesNationwide SeriesCamping World Series NASCAR penalizes No. 18 team for Pocono issues Rogers fined $25,000; Gibbs, Busch each lose six championship points DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR has penalized the No. 18 team in the Sprint Cup Series as a result of rule infractions discovered during post-race inspection Sunday at Pocono Raceway. The No. 18 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B (body height requirements -- car failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book. As a result, crew chief Dave Rogers has been fined $25,000, while owner Joe Gibbs and driver Kyle Busch have been penalized with the loss of six championship owner and six championship driver points, respectively. Joe Gibbs Racing released a statement Monday afternoon: "We brought the No. 18 car back to our race shop and have identified the problem which caused us to measure low during the post-race inspection process in Pocono [Sunday] afternoon. We have made NASCAR aware of our findings and we accept the penalty they have issued today." http://www.nascar.com/news/110613/ky...ono/index.html |

"Hey NASCAR, if you want, I'll ship those points right on down today in a nice box with a bow on it. Maybe a floral arrangement, too? I can throw in a few more as well if it suits you, you know, before you change your minds or something." |
