Dover is not going good…

3 weeks ago: Kyle Busch (18) races past a crashing Elliott Sadler (19) and Tony Stewart (20) the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington Raceway, South Carolina, May 10, 2008.

For the second time in less than a month, Elliott Sadler took Tony Stewart out of the race. The first time was Darlington and now… Dover. They should not be near one another on tracks that start with a ‘D.’

Also involved in the huge wreck: Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bobby Labonte, Paul Menard, Kasey Kahne, Bill Elliott and Scott Riggs.

Ouch! NASCAR handed down penalties today for the primary cars of #66 (driven by Scott Riggs) and #70 (Johnny Sauter) of Haas CNC Racing.

The cars were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A, better known as “actions detrimental to stock car racing,” and 20-3.1.3A, also known as “wing mounting locations were not as specified). These sections are part of the mysterious NASCAR Spring Cup Series Rule book.

Both crew chiefs and the car chiefs for the two Chevrolets, Bootie Barker and Derick Jennings (#66) and Dave Skog and Thomas Harring (#70), have been suspended for the next six NASCAR Spring Cup Series events and suspended from NASCAR until July 9. They are also placed on probation until Dec. 31.

Crew Chiefs Barker and Skog have also been fined $100,000 a piece. (more…)
