When are these guys going to learn? Brian Vickers was docked 150 driver and owner points due to violations to his car setup last week. Not only that, but his crew chief, Kevin Hamlin is suspended indefinitely and the team fined $100,000.

NASCAR.com says the penalties are the following:

The car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-2.1-D (exterior sheet metal body parts did not meet the specified minimum thickness) of the 2008 NASCAR rule book.

This has happened too many times for anyone to sit there and say, “I thought I was within my means to make that adjustment”. There is NO ROOM for adjustments. Roll the new IROC cars off the truck and race them. Follow each word in the specs down to the letter. Basically, don’t touch the car.

The COT is NASCAR’s way to own and control everything. Sorry for the 83 team, but if you didn’t see this coming, then you haven’t been paying any attention in the past 2 years.
