Does anyone know if Nascar has or will be handing out any fines from this past weekend of racing at Bristol. I dont think I can remember a race weekend at Bristol where no fines were handed out.

I really dont think any actions warranted fines this week...hard to say with Nascar though.

I never understand why Nascar hands out fines at Bristol. If they don't want that type of racing, take it off the schedule. 
I know that Robby Gordon & Jr. were warned to cool it or be parked, but I'm sure there were others. I saw drivers that normally are careful, punting people out of the way because that's the only way to pass. I saw Matt do it & felt he should have done it to Stewart also when he was two laps down & holding Matt up. Matt was po'd too when Stewart was holding him up...he came over the scanner & told Robbie that "we are exspected to bend over backwards to help this guy out but when it's our turn, he gives us the finger. Robbie just said to Matt to just remember that next time. :lol:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR officials announced Tuesday that NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series crew chiefs John D. Monsam and Raymond L. Newman have been fined for infractions during the March 23 Lucas Oil 250 by Glidden at Mesa Marin Raceway.
Monsam, crew chief of the No. 50 Ford, was fined $1,500 for actions detrimental to stock car racing (Section 12-4-A of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rule Book) and parts and/or equipment used in the event that do not conform to NASCAR rules: unapproved front spring (Section 12-4-Q).
In addition, Monsam was suspended from the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the next two events and from NASCAR until May 21.
"We have two new crew chiefs on our truck teams and the changes have greatly improved the chemistry and performance of both teams," team owner Jack Roush said.
"However, we have a zero tolerance policy regarding rules compliance, and accordingly agree that NASCAR's penalty to John is fair under the circumstances."
Roush said he has not decided who will lead Wood's team at the two races Monsam must sit out.
"We do not expect John ever to repeat that type of decision again," Roush said. "He is a good man and crew chief and I hope that everyone on the team can learn from this mistake so we can move ahead and focus on winning races."
Two other trucks at Mesa Marin had unapproved springs discovered in post qualifying inspection, and their times were disallowed. They had to use provisionals to make the field of 36 trucks.
Newman, crew chief of the No. 20 Chevrolet, was fined $250 for actions detrimental to stock car racing (Section 12-4-A of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rule Book) and parts and/or equipment that do not conform to NASCAR rules: unapproved jacking bolts (Section 12-4-Q).

Don't think we'll see any fines now that they are at Texas.
