| | DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Four Busch Series crew chiefs were
fined for rules violations before last Saturday's NAPA Auto Parts
300 at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR said Wednesday.
Pat Smith of PPI Motorsports and Nick Short of Bobby Hillin
Racing were each fined $15,000 for "actions detrimental to stock
car racing" and "use of parts that do not conform to NASCAR
rules." Short also violated a rule against "alteration that
allows additional air to be picked up."
Dave McCarty of Hank Parker Racing and Gere Kennon of Dale
Earnhardt Inc., were fined $5,000 each for using nonconforming
parts. NASCAR said McCarty was also penalized for an "attempt to
pull air from sources other than normal approved methods," and
Kennon also violated a rule on "location of roll bars."
