Thursday Update:  Kyle Busch and Johnny Sauter have been fined 25 points for infractions in New Hampshire.  Here is the text from Nascar.com:

     "Both cars -- the No. 5 Chevrolet driven by Kyle Busch and the No. 70 Chevrolet driven by Johnny Sauter -- were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B, COT Technical Bulletin #3, dated 4/10/07 (failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2007 NASCAR rule book. The violations were found during post-race inspection last Sunday.

As a result, Kyle Busch and Sauter have each been penalized 25 driver championship points. Their respective crew chiefs -- Alan Gustafson and Robert "Bootie" Barker -- have each been fined $25,000 and placed on probation until Sept. 19."

     So, if you picked either one of these two knuckleheads at Loudon, you just lost 25 points.  Please make a note in your records and check the standings for potential loss in position.

    Monday Update:  The race results from Loudon, New Hampshire are now official and there were no changes.  I did hear that Kyle Busch and Johnny Sauter both failed post-race inspection.  Apparently they did not meet the height sticks.  Anyway, we will have to wait and see if there are more point-penalties to be served.  I personally hope not.  It is one thing if it happens once or twice a year, but it is another thing when it happens every week.  If Nascar is so mad, tell the driver he is not welcome at the track because his car is illegal.  That ought to get some people straightened out, and it would end all the mess they have created trying to keep score.
