NASCAR Determines No Penalties Coming Out of Daytona Race Weekend
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 10, 2013)
– Following a thorough review,
NASCAR announced Wednesday that it will not assess penalties to the
teams that had to change out the spacers that support the hinge bar of
the car’s roof flaps last week at Daytona International Speedway. There
were 16 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams and 15
NASCAR Nationwide Series teams that were involved.
“We
examined this from every aspect we possibly could and determined that
there would be no penalties involved,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice
president of competition. “Based upon our inspection and subsequent
review, it was our determination that the functionality and safety
aspects of the roof flaps were not compromised and the on track
competition would not be impacted. Moving forward we will
work with the roof flap manufacturer and the race teams to evaluate and
optimize the associated installation hardware, review the process in
its totality and communicate in a timely manner to the garage area any
revisions that we determine need to be made.”
