Quote selected text Published November 13th, 2007 in NASCAR News
NASCAR penalized Roush Fenway Racing driver Matt Kenseth 25 Busch Series points and fined crew chief Drew Blickensderfer $10,000 for having the right rear quarterpanel too high in postrace inspection Nov. 10 at Phoenix International Raceway.
The loss of 25 points, announced Tuesday, moves Mike Wallace into 10th in the driver standings with one race remaining. Kenseth, who has not competed in 11 races this year, is 14 points behind Wallace.
Team owner Jack Roush, who was penalized 25 points in the owners standings, said Nov. 11 that a broken spring caused the violation.
Roush Fenway Racing can appeal the decision to the National Stock Car Racing Commission.

I was gonna say something clever , but Brian France isnt worth my time.
Wonder what would have happened if it was Jimmie???Na$car better hurry,You only have one more race to extract more money from the teams.
He had an unapproved band-aid on his pinky finger too. Fine him!
don’t worry fans all the fine money goes back to the driver points fund,makes sense to me just like everything else they do…
