Kenseth's Car Too High in Post Race Inspection: A broken left front spring caused the #17 Roush Racing Ford driven by Matt Kenseth to be too high in the right rear during postrace inspection following the Arizona.Travel 200 Busch Series race Saturday at Phoenix. Kenseth finished second in the race. His team faces possible points and monetary penalties from being outside the NASCAR specifications. NASCAR likely will announce any penalties Tuesday.(SceneDaily.com)(11-11-2007)
yeah, ok the spring broke penalize the heck out of them! It's not like 'they' modified the shock internals for an advantage or hung the rear shoch hangers incorrectly (like some other team has done and received no penalties). This is... never mind.
UPDATE: NASCAR announced that Drew Blickensderfer, crew chief for the #17 Ford driven by Matt Kenseth in the Busch Series, was fined $10,000 for violating Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing), 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used that do not conform to NASCAR rules) and 20A12.8.1D (after competition, the right rear quarter panel height exceeded the maximum of 36 ½ inches) of the 2007 Busch Series Rule Book. Additionally, Kenseth was penalized with the loss of 25 championship driver points and team owner Jack Roush was penalized with the loss of 25 championship owner points due to the same violations. The infractions were discovered during post-race inspection on Nov. 10 at Phoenix.(NASCAR PR)(11-13-2007)
