- $500,000 fine overall - Loss of 100 driver points for each of the MWR Drivers - Disqualification from the Race, receiving no points and no money - All MWR Drivers, Crew Chiefs, and Spotters on probation until Dec. 31st, 2014 - Clint Boyer, his Crew Chief, Spotter, and the #15 car(yes, the car) set down for a week from NASCAR's top 3 series - Boyer, Truex Jr. should be ineligible for a chase spot in 2013 and 2014, and points championships in the Truck series, and Nationwide series for 2014
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
MWR was found to have violated Section 12-4 (Actions detrimental to stock car racing). As a result, MWR’s three teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (No. 15, 55, 56) have been penalized with the loss of 50 championship driver and 50 championship owner points, respectively. These point penalties are assessed following the season’s 26th regular-season race and not after the seeding for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Therefore, the point total for the No. 56 car driven by Martin Truex Jr. is reduced to 691, putting him in 17th position and eliminating him from the second Wild Card berth for the Chase field. Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 39 car, now moves up into the Chase as the second Wild Card participant.
NASCAR has also fined the MWR organization $300,000 and indefinitely suspended Ty Norris, MWR Executive Vice President/General Manager and spotter for the No. 55 car, for violating Section 12-4. The three crew chiefs -- Brian Pattie (No. 15), Scott Miller (No. 55) and Chad Johnston (No. 56) -- have all been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. |
