The infractions were
discovered during opening day inspection on May 9.
I would like to know why Parker Kligerman & team were not penalized for presenting an illegal chassis in opening technical inspection 2 weeks ago. NASCAR wouldn't even let them race with that chassis, they had to race the back up. And no penalty???
