Haas CNC penalties upheld
|
|
In two separate actions on Monday, the National Stock Car Racing Commission upheld penalties imposed against Haas CNC Racing for upper rear wing mounting point violations found on both Haas CNC cars May 24 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. The rulings were announced Tuesday. In upholding the penalties, the commission rejected Haas CNC Racing's appeal, which dealt not with the infractions themselves but with the severity of the punishment. The crux of the commission's decision lay in its finding that the violations appeared to be intentional. The harshest aspect of the penalties imposed by NASCAR was the suspension for six races of the crew chiefs and car chiefs of both cars, an unprecedented action. Crew chiefs Bootie Barker and Dave Skog also were fined $100,000 each. The two cars had been confiscated and taken to NASCAR's research and development center in Concord, N.C., the day the infractions were discovered. In addition, drivers Scott Riggs (No. 66 Chevrolet) and Johnny Sauter (No. 70 Chevrolet) were docked 150 championship points each. Owners Joe Custer (No. 66) and Margaret Haas (No. 70) were docked 150 owner points each. Acting on a tip from a garage source, NASCAR discovered that the location of the upper rear wing mounting points had been altered, ostensibly between May 23 qualifying for the Coca-Cola 600 and the running of the race itself on May 25. The crew chiefs and car chiefs of both cars will remain on probation through Dec. 31, 2008. Derick Jennings is car chief of the No. 66 car; Thomas Harris is car chief of the No. 70. http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=421967 |
