Suspensions are explained in greater detail.
Behavioral infractions are still handled on a case-by-case basis and are not built into the W, P1-P6 structure.
What constitutes the various penalties? Per NASCAR, it’s the following:
Warnings are issued instead of penalties for certain types of minor, first-time infractions.
P1 penalties may result from multiple warnings to the same team.
P2 penalties may include but are not limited to violations such as hollow components, expiration of certain safety certification or improper installation of a safety feature, or minor bracket and fasteners violations.
P3 penalty options may include but are not limited to violations such as unauthorized parts, measurement failures, parts that fail their intended use, or coil spring violation.
P4 level infractions may include but are not limited to violations such as devices that circumvent NASCAR templates and measuring equipment, or unapproved added weight.
P5 level may include but are not limited to violations such as combustion-enhancing additives in the oil, oil filter, air filter element or devices, systems, omissions, etc., that affect the normal airflow over the body.
P6 level may include but are not limited to violations such as affecting the internal workings and performance of the engine, modifying the pre-certified chassis, traction control or affecting EFI or the ECU.
“The new deterrence system is going to provide a clear path for our competitors to fully understand the boundaries, while shoring up some gray areas, which may have been in existence,” said O’Donnell.

I'm guessing a Black Bear tune would land us in P6 territory?

Brian France has taken all the fun out of the sport, and simply ruined NASCAR. He's run off all the diehard older fans trying to acquire a younger following. What a dick.

It's funny. All the NASCAR fans I know are dumb rednecks. But yet that game is more complicated than Cricket or Chess
