Gibbs promises stiffer in-house penalties
Quote selected text Published August 23rd, 2008 in NASCAR News
NASCAR’s fines to crew chiefs often are considered fines to teams with the belief that the car owners pay them. But Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs said Nationwide Series crew chiefs Dave Rogers and Jason Ratcliff will be responsible for their $50,000 fines plus an in-house fine. Gibbs also will add to the length of the indefinite suspensions issued by NASCAR.
“If NASCAR comes back and says, ‘It’s [till] the end of the year,’ we’ll add to that,” Gibbs said. “If they come back and say, ‘It’s eight races,’ then we’ll go to the end of the year. And financially, we’ll add to that, too.”
- Penalties for Gibbs teams more like slap on wrist
- Toyota statement regarding JGR NNS penalties
- Kahne donates $500,000 to Ronald McDonald House
- National Stock Car Racing Commission rescinds probation for Stewart, Logano
- TMS president Gossage offers drivers a ‘reward’ for throwing helmet
Obviously Gibbs is using the two crew chiefs as scapegoats.
give me a break coach had nothing to do with it. They screwed up and deserve to pay the price
I refuse to believe that Gibbs had nothing to do with it.
Joe is so out of the loop with the team only an idiot would believe that he did have something to do with it.
I blame it on the “hooligans” from JGRMX, They race Yamaha’s and those have to be some kind of Rival to Toyota…. l0l
Thats a joke its not like they couldnt tell joe to shove it and go to another team.
They cant add to the fines, If he knew anything about NC labor laws they wouldnt be even saying this. A employer cannot fine a employee for something they have done on the job so the only one who can fine anyone is the sanctioning body.

Give me a break…Gibbs not knowing what his team is doing? Thats ludicris! The coach knows!!!
JD is a spoiled brat who has always had everything,because of dad’s success and would throw his own mother in the fire to save himself. so it’s real easy to believe he would try to make it seem like he knew nothing.He is in charge and knows all that gos on.I ask you if they had discovered a new way to make speed how fast would he take credit,even if he knew nothing about how it was discovered
