On Wednesday, NASCAR released their weekly penalty report. It contained a wide assortment of warnings, but one graded penalty as well.

Last weekend saw NASCAR’s National Series put on two very different races. Sonoma on Sunday was very clean, possibly the cleanest Cup race ever run at Sonoma Raceway. Yes, there were four cautions, but they were for either stalled cars or debris. No one spun out all day. Don’t recall that ever happening. Meanwhile, there …
Who’s in the headline – Friday, Tony Stewart said, “driving a Sprint Cup car does not make me happy right now.” Wonder how he feels after a trip to Victory Lane?
