Kevin Harvick, Rodney Childers Penalized After Talladega Infractions

NASCAR announced Wednesday (Oct. 5) that Kevin Harvick has been docked 100 driver points for an illegal parts modification.

The No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team was also deducted 100 owner points.

In addition, crew chief Rodney Childers will sit out the next four races starting Sunday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, as well as being fined $100,000. He will be eligible to return for the Championship finale Nov. 6 at Phoenix Raceway.

Harvick finished 29th at Talladega Superspeedway. His car was brought to the NASCAR Research & Development Center after the race.

Also, Andrew Abbott — crew chief on the No. 20 in the Camping World Truck Series — has been indefinitely suspended for a behavioral violation. He has been ordered to complete anger management training as a pre-requisite for his reinstatement.

    • Nothing will happen to Chase – he’s the Golden Goose that drives for NASCAR’s God. Now Harvick on the other hand… he’s going to be the whipping boy until he shapes up and toes the line like Denny!

      A pit road speeding penalty during the race AND they “randomly” select the 29th place car (2nd car 1 lap down) to thoroughly inspect? Yeah, that smells right.

      • I thought Denny was a bit too vocal as well. Although, he kissed some ass after his original statement, so that probably helps.

      • the ccp guidelines of nascar will be big on anybody but the GM & hendricks if you don’t tow the line for the masters just like the chinese do in china

    • I remember in recent years it was the Gibbs show that NASCAR favored. The conspiracy theorists change their story regularly.

    • chief the kissers will be awarded by the guidelines of the ccp peoople at nascar oh well another awaiting for approval most likely

  1. Why don’t they take away a win from him this season, since points pretty much don’t mean squat anymore.
