post-race teardown after his Loudon
A post-race teardown after his Loudon victory last Sunday threw a monkey wrench into Childress Racing”s Clint Bowyer”s prospects. Citing illegal modifications to the rear bodywork of the car, NASCAR levied a 150-point penalty, fined crew chief Shane Wilson $150,000, and suspended both Wilson and car chief Chad Haney cable raceway for six races. Richard Childress has appealed the penalty, saying that the penalty was based on a measurement that was sixty-thousands of an inch, and could have been caused by a tow truck pushing Bowyer to victory lane casino spiele after he cable channels ran out of fuel. In addition, other drivers also hit Bowyer”s rear bumper in congratulatory fashion after the checker. For his part, Bowyer feels he was “made an example of” by NASCAR, after his team was warned about being close to tolerance after Richmond two weeks ago. Because of the warning, Bowyer said the cable duct team had made “triple sure” that his Loudon car met all tolerances.
