NASCAR has penalized Norm Benning’s No. 57
team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series as a result of rule infractions
discovered during opening day inspection last Thursday, Oct. 4 at Talladega
Superspeedway.
The No. 57 truck was found to be in violation
of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4J (any
determination by NASCAR Officials that race equipment used in the event does
not conform to NASCAR rules detailed in Section 20B of the NASCAR Rule Book, or
has not been approved by NASCAR prior to the Event); Section 20B-2.3A: (any
weight added to the truck must be bolted inside the body shell in an approved
weight container and in a position acceptable to NASCAR Officials: Improperly
attached weight to the truck bed cover) of the 2012 NASCAR rule book.
As a result, crew chief Ted Walters has been
fined $5,000, and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
