B24 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 http://www.sportsline.com/autoracing/story/9994737DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR took its strongest stance against cheating Tuesday, suspending the crew chiefs for Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliott Sadler and docking all four drivers points before the season-opening Daytona 500 for failing inspections. In toughening its penalties, NASCAR made the unprecedented move of taking points away before the season has even started. Kahne and Kenseth were docked 50 points apiece, while Riggs and Sadler lost 25 each. Reiser and Francis also were fined $50,000 each, while Childers and Brown were fined $25,000 each. It's going to be really tough starting off the season at negative 50 points. Quote
Kirkendall Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Crazy. I thought it was very, well, odd, that all three crew chiefs... errr, "directors" were suspended too. All three Evernham cars won't have their crew chiefs for the next two races and the #9 for four. Quote

How wild would it be if Kenseth wins the first, and only race so far, of the season and sits 8th or 9th in the standings. Quote
