NASCAR issues four-race suspension to Kyle Busch crew chief, crew members

Kyle Busch crew chief Adams Stevens, tire carrier Kenny Barber and tire changer Jake Seminara were suspended four races on Wednesday after a wheel came off the No. 18 Toyota during a pit stop on Sunday at Dover International Speedway.

The punishment is described as the “mandatory minimum" for the violation of Sections 10.9.10.4.C: Tires and Wheels; 12.5.2.6.3.c.Minimum Safety Penalty Options.

Seminara did not get any of the lugnuts tight and Busch left pit road when the jackman dropped the car. Busch circled the track on three wheels before returning to pit road.

Similarly, Brad Keselowski team crew chief Mike Hillman Jr., tire changer Wesley McPherson and tire carrier Eric Pinkiert received identical four-race penalties on Wednesday for a similar incident at Dover in the Camping World Truck Series with driver Chase Briscoe.
