Kevin Harvick's team was penalized for having unapproved weight in his No. 4 Chevrolet to start Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International.

Crew chief Rodney Childers was fined $25,000 for the penalty, which was classified as a P3 under a new system introduced this season.

That was one of the laziest mistakes I've seen in racing. Nothing quite like leaving a bean bag in the car.

They will be checking under the seats from now on. Harvick's crew gets my vote for the hall of fame boneheads. I was dead wrong, I thought Childers was a wizard for what he was doing over at MWR with the split driver car that always ran strong.

Hey SOI, is that what happened to that dude in your Avi after he finished drinking from the Mason jar in the last avi.??????

Really? A penalty for an errant beanbag?

Really? A penalty for an errant beanbag?

it is unapproved weight. just because they were too half assed to remove it and it almost took their driver out and Kenseth too is beside the point. haaaaaaa what a bunch of goofs, what is next? leave a hammer in the trunk?

Yeah I know it's all that but that was a bit severe for a momentary rectal-cranial inversion.

Completely understand the fine handed down by NASCAR today. We made a mistake and have put in a process to insure it doesn't happen again.

yeah I would rather have them kick each other in the cods on pit row.

$25K for that? That's one expensive hacky sack.

pretty big fine, they only won 128 thousand. around 25% penalty.

Yeah, it seems a bit excessive.

Yeah, it seems a bit excessive.

Yeah insult to injury, even with his high finish and all the prize money without the penalty, the freakin tire bill and entry fee probably ate up half of the winnings.

SHR just needs to hire me as a mechanic, I won't let stupid mistakes like that happen

 

[Wingnutcnc]

"The Harv" probably has nightmares of all this stuff happening to him this year.

You don't want to see SOI when he's angry though.

There are times that I think Kevin really overreacts to things that happen on pit road. But, the incompetence from this past weekend shows a crew that really needs to get their act together quickly if they are going to have any chance come chase time.

Errors like this should not happen at a professional level. As a driver, I'd be extremely annoyed.

I think this proves that beyond the bad luck is harvicks team is sloppy. The fact is someone didn't do their job. the car chief is the one to blame here. It just shows the mechanical problems aren't a fluke. I bet harvick is thinking the same thing.

I figured the penalty would be no cornhole gaming for 2 weeks.

yeah, Childers is the boss and not catching something this obvious would make me wonder about the rest of my car if I was driving it. Got brakes? lug nuts tight? whats that vibration? Might be why Harvick is going ballistic so much, fed up with it.

Going through my pictures from the glen and I noticed chad knaus in the background of this one - looks like he is hoping someone doesn't find the bean bags he tossed in the 4 car!

 

[Kyle18fan]

Good

Looks like Harvick is checking the firewall flaps, he will be checking under the seats next week. Need to get Delana to check the car out, she would get them straightened out.
