HASS CNC Penalties uphled by NASCAR

NASCAR upheld the penalties on the Haas CNC racing teams that were given out back during the Coca-Cola 600 weekend when both of their cars had wing mounts the were illegally placed, the team had their cars confiscated and heavy fines and suspensions were handed out to them.

The team then appealed last week to have their severe penalties lessened, but NASCAR disagreed and upheld the penalties, so that means that both teams penalties with the loss of 150 driver and owner point, the $100,000 fine and suspensions of both the crew chief and car chief for six weeks will not change.

I think this a good call by NASCAR to uphold these penalties, these teams need to learn that NASCAR doesn�t want teams to screw around with these cars and until they get the clue not to mess around with them, I only expect the penalties to be harder and more severe in the future.

NASCAR confiscates Haas-CNC cars

Earlier today, the cars of Scott Riggs and Johnny Sauter were taken away by NASCAR for having illegal rear wing mounts on their cars. Both drivers will allowed to use thier backup cars for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. Their primary cars will be taken to the nearby NASCAR R&D center. The funny thing about this is that the mounts were not discovred in the tech line, but that someone (tattletale!) infomred NASCAR about the mounts.

Stiff penalties will be handed out to the teams on Tuesday.
