Should NASCAR have a penalty system similar to other sports?

Penalties in NASCAR have always been a hot topic, especially the way penalties are handed down and what those penalties are.  I have to say that NASCAR has tried to be consistent when a precedent has been set previously, but most fans still see NASCAR as being inconsistent with penalties.

NASCAR, unlike other sports, doesn't have a set system of penalties that are spelled out.  It can be difficult, but the basic penalties could be spelled out and a set amount in a fine and points could be stated, other new penalties could then be added as they come about.  Most of the time penalties fall under "actions detrimental to stock car racing" or parts that don't conform to NASCAR's standards.  I think it's something that could be done.

Troy Aikman, one of the former owners of Hall of Fame Racing, was surprised at NASCAR's penalty system, the fact that penalties are not spelled out and he didn't understand why they weren't.  Yes, NASCAR is different than other sports, but they can come up with a penalty system that is spelled out for the teams and fans so that they can understand.

Also, repeat offenders should get a stiffer penalty and it shouldn't matter whether it's within the same season or not, a repeat offender should have a stiffer fine and/or points taken away, they shouldn't be able to get away with big things once a year just because.

Your thoughts?  Should NASCAR have a set system for penalties and what should those penalties be?
