[/media-credit]CONCORD, N.C. (July 25, 2012) – NASCAR announced yesterday, July 24, penalties for the No. 09 RAB Racing with Brack Maggard team which competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on July 22. The penalties are a result of rule infraction found in post-race inspection.
Crew chief Scott Zipadelli has been fined $10,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Sept. 5. Car chief Travis Young has been placed on NASCAR probation until Sept. 5. Additionally, car owner Robby Benton and driver Kenny Wallace have been penalized with the loss of six driver and six owner points, respectively.
“We accept the penalty and fines levied by NASCAR with respect to failing to meet minimum weight requirements in post-race inspection at Chicagoland Speedway,” said Robby Benton, owner of RAB Racing with Brack Maggard. “We experienced a part failure that resulted in a piece of ballast being lost from within its container during the event. It was unintentional, and of no fault of Scott (Zipadelli, crew chief) or Travis (Young, car chief), but the crew chief and car chief are held liable for such cases. We will not appeal NASCAR’s decision, and will move on to this weekend’s inaugural Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”
