Well, NASCAR doesn’t like unapproved parts and showed it’s displeasure with a 50 point penalty and $20,000.00 in fines against the 22 team in the Nationwide Series..
How does something like this happen? That, my friends, is the $20,000.00 question. If this had been the 48 team in the Sprint cup series half of NASCAR Nation would be cheering since Chad Knaus has a history of pushing the envelope. But this is Paul Wolfe! Always flying under the radar and staying clean, Paul Wolfe.
Well, someone on the 22 team screwed up and I’m sure Jodi Geschickter who owns the 22 car will get to the bottom of it.
It looks like Brad will keep the win, but the loss of points puts Kevin Harvick only 10 points behind him. The wild finish at Talladega had set Keselowski with a decent 60 point lead. The points trimming by NASCAR levels the top spot competition.
So, to the 22 team, parts is not always parts. Double check everything. NASCAR is not fooling around.
