88 team fined and has points taken away
I am surprised nobody caught this by now. I personally think it is BS to take points away from Jarrett for this offense at a track like New Hampshire. I don't think a 1/4 inch lower ride height would make a difference there.

Actually I thought it was only an 1/8 of a inch too low...which is really ticky tacky. But they have been warned. I thought they just took points away from Jimmie Johnson a few weeks back? Was it for the same thing? Or something else?

I think it was Jimmie Johnson who had points taken away for the same thing but they couldn't pass pre-race inspection and were allowed to race with the car anyway and have points taken away later--which I thought was odd.

Well NASCAR did warn them that it was going to come down to this. So I am not real surprised. I guess NASCAR felt that $$ wasn't stopping the teams from using the too soft springs. Points would certainly be felt more--- they will go this way from now on. It hurts them more & will certainly discourage the teams from trying to get away with things.
It would be real interesting if the points deductions made a driver LOOSE the championship. |

Rules are rules. If you dont meet the technical regulations you dont meet the regulations. In other forms of racing you'd have been disqualified entirely, not just 1/6 of your points
