Penalties Result in Crew Chief Suspensions
http://www.race2win.net/wc/05/lvpens.html
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 15, 2005) ~ NASCAR has announced that rule
infractions this past weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway have resulted in
the suspension of three NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series crew chiefs.

The No. 48 Chevrolet team received three penalties, due to the car~s roof
height being too low in post-race inspection ~ a violation of Section 12-4-A
of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series rule book (actions detrimental to stock car
racing) and Section 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components, and/or equipment
used that do not conform to NASCAR rules).

A penalty of 25 driver points dropped Jimmie Johnson ~ the race winner at
Las Vegas ~ back to second place (500 points) in the standings, 10 behind
reigning series champion Kurt Busch (510). Chad Knaus, Johnson~s crew chief,
has been suspended from competition for the next two races and fined
$35,000; Jeff Gordon, the No. 48 car owner, has been penalized 25 owner
points.

Todd Berrier, crew chief for the No. 29 Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick,
has been suspended for the next four races and fined $25,000. Those
penalties resulted from the No. 29 having an unapproved fuel filler and
unapproved fuel cell vent. The car was in violation of Sections 12-4-A and
12-4-Q. The violation was found during post-qualifying inspection.

In addition to Berrier~s penalties, Harvick has been penalized 25 driver
championship points, dropping him from eighth to 10th in the driver
standings, while car owner Richard Childress loses 25 car owner championship
points.

Alan Gustafson, crew chief for the No. 5 Chevrolet driven by Kyle Busch, has
been suspended for two races and fined $25,000, due to the car~s
quarter-panel heights being too high in post-race inspection ~ also
violations of Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q. Busch has been assessed 25 driver
points, dropping him from 18th to 22nd in the standings; car owner Rick
Hendrick loses 25 owner points.

In addition:

Harold Holly, crew chief for the No. 32 Chevrolet driven by Bobby Hamilton
Jr., was fined $5,000 because of the No. 32 having an unapproved deck lid, a
violation of Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q that was determined during
opening-day inspection.
John Latchford, crew chief for the No. 89 Dodge driven by Morgan Shepherd,
was fined $1,000 because of an unapproved fire suppression agent found
during opening-day inspection. That also violated Sections 12-4-A and
12-4-Q.
Larry Carter, crew chief for the No. 2 Dodge driven by Rusty Wallace, was
fined $1,000. During opening-day inspection, the car~s shoulder harness did
not have a date tag displayed, a violation of Sections 17.2-C (and 12-4-A).
