Truex Jr. Penalized 150 Points

Think they're gonna take that route and go ahead and appeal it to the commiissioner? I think it'll be waste of time if they do. All they're doing is delaying the crew chief's supension and extending it further than August 27th.

And I think NASCAR is right by docking driver points. If you don't dock points from the driver, then teams can cheat, get caught and then the driver suffering no consequences of the team's actions. Does that sound fair? I think not. Docking driver points sends a strong message that cheating will not be tolerated.

I don't think they'll try to appeal it any further...they just needed a little time to get things ironed out for the next 6 weeks. They don't have enough depth to the organization to have people ready to step in like some of the other teams have.

I don't think so either. I can't ever remember the NSCRC overturning a penalty. Or the commissioner for that matter.
