During opening-day inspection Oct. 23 at Memphis, NASCAR discovered similar rules violations on two cars. On Wednesday, the teams involved learned the price for the infractions.
NASCAR fined owner/crew chief Jay Robinson $2,500 and placed him on probation until Dec. 31 after inspectors found washers designed to conceal holes drilled in the lower A-frame spring bucket of Robinson’s No. 49 Chevrolet, driven by Mark Green.
Robinson also lost 25 owner points, and Green was docked 25 championship driver points.
Chris Rice, crew chief of the No. 70 ML Motorsports Chevrolet driven by Shelby Howard, also drew a $2,500 fine and probation until Dec. 31 for the same infraction. Howard lost 25 championship points, and owner Mary Louise Miller was docked 25 owner points.
