Getting Sprint Cup drivers to concur on some subjects isn't easy. But as for opinions of the penalties levied against Haas CNC Racing earlier this week, most of the garage area seemed to agree Friday at Dover International Speedway that harsh sanctions are both in order and to be expected for violations with NASCAR's new generation race car. "It's been pretty consistent as far as how [NASCAR] has reacted," Richard Childress Racing's Kevin Harvick said. "I think the precedent was set a long time ago as far as what the penalty would be. When you start messing with the wing brackets and the templates and things on the cars, they've been pretty consistent about that. As a competitor, the main thing you want to ask for is consistency. And the consistency has shown up in all the penalties."

Haas team to appeal penalties: With severe penalties looming, Haas-CNC Motorsports has decided to appeal NASCAR's ruling that the team's cars were illegally altered for the May 25 Coca-Cola 600, sources told ESPN.com's David Newton. NASCAR handed down its most severe penalties yet concerning alterations to its new car on May 28, when the crew chiefs and car chiefs for Scott Riggs and Johnny Sauter were suspended six races apiece for tampering with the rear wings on their Chevrolets at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Additionally, crew chiefs Bootie Barker and Dave Skog were fined $100,000 each. Derick Jennings and Thomas Harris, the car chiefs, were not fined but their suspensions are unprecedented. All four must sit out until the July 12 race in Chicago, and are on probation through the end of the year. Riggs and Sauter were each docked 150 driver points, penalties that severely hurt the struggling teams. The cars are both fielded by Haas-CNC Motorsports, which was docked 150 owner points for each Chevrolet. Haas general manager Joe Custer is listed as the owner for Riggs' #66, and Margaret Haas is listed as the owner of Sauter's #77. Gene Haas, who actually owns the fledgling two-car team, began serving a two-year prison sentence for tax evasion in January. The team is widely believed to be for sale, and two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart has acknowledged he's received an offer to buy the organization
