The
No. 20 team that competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has been
penalized for a rules infraction that occurred during post-race inspection
Sept. 13 at Chicagoland Speedway.
The
infraction is a P2 level penalty and violates sections 12-1: Actions detrimental to stock car racing and 20B-12.8: Truck failed to meet
post-race body height/ground clearance requirements of the 2014 NASCAR rule
book.
Since
crew chief Chris Rice was currently under probation through the end of the year
from a P3 level penalty that occurred during a NASCAR Nationwide Series event
at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 15, the applicable Recurrence Multiplier as
outlined in the rule book can be used when assessing the severity of this
penalty. As a result Rice has been fined $7,500 and suspended from NASCAR
through Sept. 24. His NASCAR probation remains intact through Dec. 31.
Bob
Newberry, owner of the No. 20 truck, has been penalized with the loss of 10
series championship owner points.
