Five NASCAR teams, including Kevin Harvick’s Number-4 Stewart-Haas Racing entry, received penalties on Wednesday for rule violations coming out of last weekend’s events at Dover International Speedway. Harvick’s team has now received written warnings on two consecutive weekends.
In Charlotte, it had to go through pre-race inspection more than three times and in Dover, the car’s exhaust pipe did not conform to specifications. As a result, Harvick will receive the last choice of a pit stall for this weekend’s race at Pocono. Hear Sunday’s race on WBUT 1050am and at wbut.com following the Noon News.
After wrecking in their respective races at Dover, Camping World Truck Series competitor Jennifer Jo Cobb and Roush Fenway Racing Sprint Cup driver Trevor Bayne were penalized for walking onto the track before being attended to by the safety crew. Cobb was fined five thousand dollars and Bayne twenty thousand dollars. They’re both on probation through December 31st. Nascar created new rules for drivers leaving their cars following accidents.
