Sorry guys, I’ve been pretty sick this week. It has taken all of my energy to just get up and go to work - too busy there to take a sick day.
Oh Boy, Am I Behind! Fines Handed Out!
I’ll try and get back into it tomorrow. Hang in there as i really want to talk about MWR’s first win.
In the meantime let me share this press release I just got from NASCAR with you:
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 27, 2009) – NASCAR has issued penalties to the No. 7 team that competes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as a result of rules violations committed at Lowe’s Motor Speedway earlier this week.
The No. 7 car, driven and owned by Robby Gordon, was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4I (any determination by NASCAR Officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-10.6H (rear axle housing exceeded the maximum specified toe of plus or minus one degree) of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rule Book. The violation was found during post-race inspection on May 25.
As a result, Gordon has been penalized with the loss of 50 championship owner and 50 championship driver points. Crew chief Kirk Almquist has been fined $50,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
In the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Andrew Crnkovic, crew member of the No. 07 team, has been suspended indefinitely from NASCAR for violating Section 7-5 (violation of the NASCAR substance abuse policy) of the 2009 rule book. The date of the rules infraction was May 21.
