Just saw this on Nascar.com

No. 48 crew chief Chad Knaus and car chief Ron Malec have been handed six-race suspensions for NASCAR for a violation found during opening-day inspection at Daytona. Jimmie Johnson was docked 25 driver points.

Looks like we both had the same idea at the same time Shanin!

So, he only earned 2 points in the 500.... and was docked 25 pts.. SO, he's -23 right now? Ouch!

Danica didn't even earn any points in the race and she's better off than he is.

I just noticed this on Jayski.com :

Hendrick Motorsports will appeal sanctions announced by NASCAR related to the #48 Sprint Cup Series team. "Our organization respects NASCAR and the way the sanctioning body governs our sport," said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. "In this case, though, the system broke down, and we will voice our concerns through the appeal process." Adjustments to #48 team personnel are not planned while the appeal is ongoing.(Hendrick Motorsports)(2-29-2012)

Nascar doesn't like it when drivers try anything to pass on the race track.
