DOVER, Del. – Haas CNC Racing has submitted to NASCAR its interim crew chiefs for this weekend after its crew chiefs and car chiefs were suspended Wednesday.
           
The team has 10 days to appeal the penalty, but crew chiefs Robert “Bootie” Barker and Dave Skog and car chiefs Derick Jennings and Thomas Harris will begin their suspensions this weekend with the Best Buy 400.
           
Team competition director Matt Borland will replace Barker as crew chief of the No. 66 of Scott Riggs, while Steve Genenbacher, who started the year as truck chief of Haas CNC Racing affiliate MRD Motorsports and driver Chad McCumbee in the Craftsman Truck Series, will replace Skog as crew chief of the No. 70, which will be driven by Jason Leffler this weekend.
           
The team personnel were suspended for six weeks for violating rules with the wing mounting locations.
           
The crew chiefs were also fined $100,000. The drivers and teams also were penalized 150 points.
