A pair of teams were issued penalties following the action at Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend.
The No. 30 team, which Jesse Little was driving for, received a P3 penalty for failing opening day inspection. The infraction related to throttle body shafts, amd examples of a possible violation, according to the NASCAR Rule Book, are meeting a minimum combined thickness of 0.197 inches or ensuring that the shafts seal, to prevent air leakage. As a result, Mark Rette was fined $5,000.
Additionally, Ben Rhodes’ ThorSport team received a written warning following an infraction during opening day inspection: truck trailing arms did not meet specifications.
