Five crew chiefs fined for violations at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Monday that fines have been issued to five Nextel Cup Series crew chiefs resulting from rule violations leading up to the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
• Joel Shear, crew chief of the No. 09 Dodge driven by Johnny Sauter and Dan Kolanda, crew chief for the No. 89 Dodge driven by Morgan Shepherd, were each fined $10,000 due to unapproved upper rear coil spring mounts, a violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment that do not conform to NASCAR rules) of the Nextel Cup Series rule book. The infractions were found during opening day inspection June 30.
Shear was fined an additional $5,000 for violating NASCAR probation, a breach of Section 12-4-A.
• Harold Holly, crew chief of the No. 32 Chevrolet driven by Bobby Hamilton Jr., was also fined $10,000 when post-qualifying inspection revealed violations of Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q (unapproved lubrication oil reservoir tank cover).
• Glenn Darrow, crew chief for the No. 37 Dodge of Kevin Lepage, was fined $2,500 after being found in violation of 12-4-A and 12-4-Q (unapproved fuel cell foam) following opening-day inspection.
