Daytona penalty report

9e4XE0SGjj8X
Michael McDowell provides his perspective of the last lap of the Daytona 500, describes the emotions of his first Cup Series win in his 358th career start, and details the hard work to stay in NASCAR's premier series.

The NASCAR penalty report from last week’s events at Daytona International Speedway includes two Cup Series crew chiefs fined $10,000 for lug nut infractions.

Team Penske crew chief Jeremy Bullins was fined after one lug nut was found unsecured on Brad Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford in post-race inspection for Tuesday’s Busch Clash.

23XI Racing crew chief Mike Wheeler had the same infraction occur on Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota following Thursday’s Duel qualifying races.

Additionally, Michael Leoncini, a hauler driver for Camping World Truck Series team GMS Racing, was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR for a behavioral penalty.

For Leoncini’s penalty, NASCAR cited Section 12.8.1.e of the rule book, which covers member actions such as discrimination or criminal charges and convictions that could result in a suspension.
