NASCAR: Sonoma post-race penalties announced

NASCAR officials fined the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team Tuesday for a lug-nut infraction after Sunday’s Cup Series event at Sonoma Raceway.

Race officials found one lug nut not safely secured in a post-race check after the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at the 2.52-mile road course. Running afoul of Section 10.9.10.4 in the NASCAR Rule Book meant a $10,000 fine for James Small, crew chief for JGR’s No. 19 team.  NASCAR.com
