BREAKING NEWS: #KyleBusch’s crew chief #AdamStevens has been fined $20,000 and suspended through May 18, meaning he will be sidelined for this weekend’s Dover race unless he decides to appeal the suspension. The fine and suspension come as the result of an apparent violation of NASCAR’s new policy regarding all five lug nuts to be on all four wheels of a competitor’s race car at all times – although it’s unclear to some extent because NASCAR no longer issues specific information to the public about its penalties. In addition to Stevens’ penalties, the #18 #JoeGibbsRacing #Toyota team’s front-tire changer, Josh Leslie, also was suspended for this weekend’s race at Dover. According to published reports, NASCAR said Stevens and Leslie violated one rule concerning lug nuts and another that dealt with “parts that are designed to fail their intended use.” Both Stevens and Leslie also were placed on probation through Dec. 31.
