Four NASCAR Cup Series crew chiefs have been given monetary fines following the post-race inspections for the Drydene 400 at Dover International Speedway last weekend, May 16.
The crew chiefs of the Nos. 24, 8, 17, and 37 of William Byron, Tyler Reddick, Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece, respectively, were each forced to pay a $10,000 monetary fine.
Rudy Fugle, Randall Burnett, Luke Lambert and Trent Owens are the crew chiefs for each of those teams, respectively.
Each of the four penalties were given after NASCAR officials found the lug nuts were improperly secured at the end of the 400-lap event at the Monster Mile.
Byron was the tail-end of the history-making 1-2-3-4 finish for Hendrick Motorsports on Sunday.
