"According to the penalty grid NASCAR issued, the No. 11 team did not adhere to the following: the Truck trailing arm spacer/pinion angle shim mating surfaces must be planar and must be in complete contact with corresponding mating surfaces at all points and at all times."

Dunk shot...

Pretty obvious and serious violation. 

Even the most casual race fan knows that the trailing arm spacer/pinion angle shim mating surface must be planar and in complete (not partial) with all corresponding mating surfaces at all points and at all times including holidays, non-race weekends and solar eclipses....

I was thinking the same thing!!

How many times, have we seen, in a pre-race TV broadcast, teams desperately working over their car, IN THE TECH LINE, trying to get it to fit the templates....and this is just minutes before the race begins. The tech inspectors can't spot something in the suspension, not an easy thing to mess with, minutes before the race, being correct??

Secondly, as "Ratzso" pointed out, if you need both a lawyer, as well as an English major, to be able to interpret what a rule states, maybe the rule shouldn't be on the books at all. With regard to Jr's finish, and subsequent finish last weekend........He finishes a dismal 22nd, 2 laps down, and they rub salt in his wound, by checking the car over and penalizing him for a couple of loose lug nuts???
