NASCAR reinstates cheaters

NASCAR has reinstated Joe Gibbs Racing Nationwide Series crew chiefs Dave Rogers and Jason Ratcliff as well as five other team crewmen who were suspended indefinitely last August.

The NASCAR suspensions lasted 10 races. They were part of a penalty for attempting to limit the car’s throttle response during a horsepower test following the event at Michigan International Speedway.

“They’re done paying their price, they’ve been reinstated and they’re waiting to apply for their license," NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said Thursday during the Sprint Media Tour. “They’re good."
