Weekly NASCAR cheaters report
The No. 88 team with driver Brad Keselowski and the No. 24 team with driver Casey Mears had to replace all of the lug nuts on the tires on the car as well as the on the tires in the pits after NASCAR had an issue with them.
Further penalties are anticipated, said NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp.
JR Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports are in the process of merging their Busch Series programs, with most of the operation already based at the JR Motorsports shop.
"We had some lug nuts that had a thread turned out of them, just trying to make pit stops faster," said JR Motorsports director of competition Tony Eury Sr. "We've got a Busch crew here against all these Cup crews it's hard to compete against them. We just stepped over the line a little bit trying to be even." Scenedaily.com
