Nationwide driver Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing have been docked 25 points each for an opening-day inspection violation at Texas Motor Speedway.

NASCAR has penalized Nationwide Series points leader Kyle Busch 25 driver points and his team 25 owner points for improperly attached weight discovered during opening-day inspection for last weekend's race at Texas Motor Speedway.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver remains in the points lead, but his advantage over Roush Fenway Racing's Carl Edwards drops slightly to 247 points. He could still clinch the series title in this weekend's race.

Busch's crew chief, Jason Ratcliff, has been fined $5,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.

In addition, Brad Parrott, who was crew chief of the No. 09 RAB Racing team of John Wes Townley at Texas Motor Speedway, has been fined $5,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31 after he was found to be in violation of the rule concerning an unapproved panhard bar adjustment during impound by a team member. The infraction was found during the prerace inspection.

    What was improper about it? Stop playing games. Why not just use the old "conduct detrimental to the sport" for all violations. We don't need to know specifics, we are just the lowly fans, who don't know what we are watching anyways, right?

    #2, I'd bet the owners do.

    25 points is rather pointless isn't it? So what's he got to do now, run 4th instead of 10th to clinch?

    I read once that the fines are thrown into a "pot" and distributed at the end of the season. So if that truly is the case - as I read it - why fine them at all? I would rather see the "fines $$$" go to a charity and NOT back to the drivers, etc. Any thoughts?

    Whoopdeedoo, it SHOULD have been more like 250 points, afterall they banned Jeremy Mayfield for "supposedly" being detrimental to the fans and drivers with his Claritan Clear use. - - - Oh, well, so it goes, another boring finish to the season. HOPEfully it will be more exciting in cup now. I will continue to pick JJ to win in hopes he does bad like last week. NEED Mark to win there, and would LIKE Carl to win here, but just too doubtful.

    I still want improperly attached to be explained. For all we know it was a sliding mechanism to shift weight from front to back as someone else hypothesized on another thread. They leave it so open for imagination they breed a belief that these teams are cheating when it could just be a mistake.

    What the heck is a panhard bar? Why doesn't NASCRAP just build all the cars, adjust everything including the elusive panhard bar,and deal the cars out at the beginning of the race to each of the drivers. Being all the cars are adjusted the same and built the same no one has to touch them. Race the hand you were dealt!!!

    i agree with # 5. and as far as a violation in PRE-RACE INSPECTION, well penalties seem wrong. send them back to bring it to standard which will cost them valuable practice time or deny practice time all together.
    extreme,flagrant or saftey issuse are another matter and should be delt with harshly.

    nascar penalties are so ridiculous- just as their "debri" cautions- why penalize the driver anyway for something he has no control over- fine the crew chief, the owner, etc, but not the driver- he only drives what they give him. guess nascar is trying to make the rest of the season a little more exciting by trying to make points closer-

    It is ALWAYS "cheating", IF they can get away with it. AND number 10 either YOU are stupid or very ignorant to stock cars and racing in general. OF COURSE they are cheating when they do those kinds of things. Where have you been, your head in the sand? - - - Give US a break. EVERYone TRIES to circumvent or BEND the rules to get an "advantage" over their competitors. THAT is what racing is all about. I raced for a total of 11 years, plus streetracing when I was a kid, and you ALWAYS looked for EVERY advantage you could find to beat the other guy. WHEN I raced in organized racing I ALWAYS obeyed the rules but looked for ever advantage I could find within those rules. So I don't fault them for that. - - - BUT IF the rules clearly state how something MUST be done, you just don't fool with that AT ALL, PERIOD! - - - AND MOM, it is a TEAM sport. EVERYONE HAS to be penalized and realize THEY hurt the rest of the team. AND the driver NEEDS to get on the rest of his team to let them know HE wants NO cheating. Hit HIS pocketbook and maybe, just maybe he will do something about it. It SHOULD have been at least a 100 points or more, so it would have SOME affect, but NA$CAR doesn't want him crying to them for the next 20 years for what they did to him "taking" HIS championship away from him. BooHoo.

    #19 - NASCAR has already set precendents with this infraction as stated earlier this week in a SceneDaily article "NASCAR penalized Nationwide Series Mike Harmon 25 points for a similar improper weight violation earlier this year at Daytona. And while it did not take points, NASCAR fined Sprint Cup crew chief Donnie Wingo $25,000 for an improperly secured weight violation last year." So, although you haters would love to see them do more to Kyle than any of the other drivers.....NASCAR gave him the exact same points fine as they did another driver earlier this year. Sorry NACAR didn't penalize him what YOU thought they should. Guess you weren't home when they called to ask you ROFL

    LOL to DB's comment!! The attachment may have been seen/analyzed as a down force enhancement or not. But Nascar has rules for teams to abide by and if they don't then Nascar has to enforce these rules and penalize for infractions. I don't have any problem with teams finding ways to cheat though, I applaud them!!

    Nascar's guys at the top really don't like Kyle
    very much...although for the life of me I don't
    know why. I feel they should have thrown a
    deprie caution with 5 laps to go so everyone could top off. If anyone but Kyle was leading
    they would have done that. You think????

    Yes, I agree with 33, Nascar always throws Gordon, Johnson and Jr cautions. They threw a Gordon caution(debris) because he was about to be lapped. Show me the debris,I was there didn't see anything. Kyle Busch is a fantastic driver and he wins in anything he drives.
