Valkrie1357 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 17 & 9 Lose 50 points & Crew chiefs out 4 Races 10 & 19 Lose 25 points & Crew chiefs out 2 Races Evernham Motorsports took the biggest hit as its lead car, the No. 9 Dodge of driver Kasey Kahne, lost its team director, Kenny Francis, for four races beginning with Sunday's Daytona 500; Kahne was docked 50 driver points and owner Ray Evernham 50 owner points. Kahne's teammates, Elliott Sadler (No. 19 Dodge) and Scott Riggs (No. 10 Dodge) lost their team directors, Josh Browne and Rodney Childers, respectively, for two races apiece; Sadler and Riggs will lose 25 driver points each and owners Evernham (19) and James Rocco (10) 25 owner points following the Daytona 500. Roush Racing's No. 17 Ford team for driver Matt Kenseth was hit with an equivalent penalty as Kahne's -- with both infractions involving "air improperly ducted into the car," according to NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton. Kenseth's crew chief Robbie Reiser will serve a four-race suspension and he was assessed a $50,000 fine. Kenseth will lose 50 driver points and owner Jack Roush 50 owner points. Kahne and Kenseth's infractions were discovered following Sunday's Bud Pole Award qualifying session for the Daytona 500. Sadler and Riggs's infraction, which involved "modifications to the fasteners that hold the rear spoiler to the trunk lid to leak air out of the trunk," was discovered in pre-qualifying inspection. NASCAR said no determination had yet been made on a "substance" found in the intake manifold of the engine in Michael Waltrip Racing's No. 55 Toyota, after which the manifold was confiscated; or the release of the entire car and second manifold, which were impounded following the car's 24th-place qualifying run. All four teams can appeal the penalties, Pemberton said. Crazy!!! Let the Racin Begin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Re: NASCAR Pentalties for 17,9,10 & 19 Cars Looks like Everham is the biggest losers of the bunch! Whole bunch of cheaters if you asked me, at least Roush was smart enough to try it with one team, not all of them! You know Ray knew about it too! BUNCH of Cheaters!! You don't try this at Daytona, its the first race of the year, the hardest to make so teching is at its best!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: NASCAR Pentalties for 17,9,10 & 19 Cars Why the he** are the penalties and suspensions different! They all had something illegal, what's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: NASCAR Pentalties for 17,9,10 & 19 Cars I would also like to state the fact that the #17 car had no intentions of cheating! "Obviously I'm disappointed with the penalty and the fact I won't be there at the Daytona 500 and for the following races," Reiser said. "It was my job to ensure that the cap on the wheel well was properly secured, but it came off during our qualifying run and we ended up outside of the rules because of it. "I understand NASCAR has a set of rules and we have to abide by them and it's ultimately my responsibility to make sure we do that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: NASCAR Pentalties for 17,9,10 & 19 Cars Evernham has to replace 3 Crew Chiefs for the 500. I bet he's scrabbling a little bit today! Sorry to see Kenseths team involved. I wouldn't have expected something like that from them. That's disappointing!

Eric [/ QUOTE ] Most teams have car chiefs that can step into a crew chief role pretty easy. At Daytona, its all about pitting with a pack of cars, 2 tires or 4, and make sure you fill it all the way up with fuel, fuel milage could win this race! Heck I could be a replacement crew chief!

Bowhntr Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: NASCAR Penalties for 17,9,10 & 19 Cars I said it last year and I'll say it again. Caught cheating...go home for the weekend. END OF STORY. No crew chief suspension, no fine, no points docked, just load it up and we'll see you next week. You park a few drivers a couple of times and all of a sudden that "grey" area won't be so grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have multi-million dollars deals going on and when you see a crew chief get a $50,000 fine you know he is not paying it, the team is paying it. You send them home and they miss the race, you know dang well that car will meet each rule the next race. Love the idea, now NASCAR just needs to implement that!! You cheat, you go home!!! See ya next week!! You cheat that week, you go home!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
