Penalties handed down in all three series
Today, NASCAR handed out the penalties for infractions at Daytona.
On the Cup side, Robby Gordon got docked 100 owner and driver points and his crew chief was fined $100,000 and suspended for six races.
For the Nationwide Series, there's a long list. The biggest one being Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 50 point loss, along with owner Hendrick with the 50 owner point loss. The crew chief was fined $25,000 and suspended for six races.
Additionally in the Nationwide Series, Kertus Davis, Johnny Sauter, David Gilliland, David Stremme, and Cale Gale, have also all lost 25 drivers points for infractions, their owners also lost 25 owner points and their crew chiefs have each been fined $15,000 and suspended for the next six races.
Over in the Truck Series, Todd Bodine lost 25 points and Germain lost 25 owner points. The crew chief was fined $10,000 and suspended for the next four races.
Ron Hornaday's crew chief was also fined $5,000.
It looks like NASCAR had some fun handing down all these penalties, but I'm sure you noticed that Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch weren't up there, I guess NASCAR saying they are on probation was the penalty for their little spat. I'm glad they didn't hand down fines for it and just let them be themselves.
Your thoughts?

NASCAR: What a joke, after seeing and knowing what went wrong with the 7 car, they assured him all was okay and it wasnt "detremential". So in turn they slap him down, suspend Frank, on and on.
Ok, here is what will piss the JR Fans off:
That car in the Busch Series was blanantly cheating, got half the penalites and points taken. There car had the decklid and the wing "played with" ...Robby had the wrong nose.
Issue being, the BS stated all weekend by NASCAR on this fact, "that is was understood with the error", where they stated on the HMS "it was blantant and almost kicked the CC out"......
100 owners and drivers points VS 50 points
100K vs. 25k...
Need one say more? Odd Robby gets slapped but Rick gets a ass massage..... Humm
