NASCAR says of the TeamHendrick and KauligRacing penalties: “It was obvious to us these parts had been modified in areas that weren’t approved.'
Asked if NASCAR were surprised it was still dealing with this issue a year later, Elton Sawyer, NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition said, “I don’t know if the word is surprised, maybe I’ll use disappointed.
“We will continue to do what we need to do to this car in check. It’s for the betterment of our sport, for the business model and that’s our responsibility to continue to do that.”Sawyer said NASCAR does allow teams on occasion to modify a single sourced part to assist in it fitting properly on the car but said that was not the case in this instance.
“We felt like to keep the garage on a level playing field, the competition level where it needs to be, all the dialogue that went around this car last year working with the owners on what the deterrent model should be, we were put in a position that we felt there was no other way but to write a penalty.
