JUC: Kahne and Kenseth...Riggs and Sadler
Kahne and Kenseth's qualifying times have been disallowed.
They will start at the back of the pack in the second Duel race tomorrow.
KTCK, Sports Radio 1310 the Ticket, in the DFW market has announced that there will be a point deduction levied against both teams and their crew chiefs will be invited not to come to races for a portion of the season, beginning at Daytona.
Now...the problem there is...Jimmie Johnson, the Golden Child of NASCAR, had issues last year at Daytona. His crew chief got busted and such. But...BUT, there was not a point penalty assessed. And he went on to win the Cup by just 56 points over Matt Kenseth.
Seems like we've got a double standard at work there.
I haven't heard or seen confirmation of the points penalty from any other source. If confirmation comes down, I will post it.
Confirmation has come down...
Kenseth, Kahne, Riggs, and Sadler were all docked points and have had their crew chiefs suspended.
Reiser(17) and Francis(9) are suspended for 4 races. Childers(10) and Brown(19) are suspended for 2 races.
Kahne and Kenseth have been docked 50 points and fined $50,000. Riggs and Sadler have been docked 25 points and $25,000 points.
Apparently all for aerodynamic reasons.
This is supposedly part of NASCAR's new tougher enforcement policy. Let's see how these situations are handled when its one of the media's love children; Jr. Smoke, Jimmie, or Jeff...since a NASCAR telecast can't go five minutes without mentioning one of them...even if the bastards aren't even sniffing the Top Ten...don't believe me...time it.
No word as of yet on the fate of Michael Waltrip as regards his car being taken by NASCAR for the mysterious substance that was found in the manifold of his #55 NAPA Toyota Camry.
