NASCAR officials confiscate parts from KHI's #33-Chevy UPDATE:Rear-end housing confiscated: Hearing that prior to qualifying, NASCAR inspectors confiscated the rear-end of the #33-KHI Chevy of driver, Ron Hornaday Jr. Apparently officials allowed Hornaday's team to pull the rear-end out of the backup truck for Hornaday to use for the race.(7-18-2009)
UPDATE: During the pre-race broadcast on SPEEDtv, Ray Dunlap confirmed that during prerace inspection the rear-end housing of the #33-KHI Chevy was found to be offset and outside the provisions of the NASCAR rule book. As a result, the part was confiscated by NASCAR officials, and more than likely, penalties will come down from NASCAR early next week.(7-18-2009)

I hope they fine him & the team big time.
I've been very disappointed with the Truck series this season. I haven't watched many races. When Kyle races I don't watch....... When he doesn't, it's Hornaday. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now this.

I have really lost interest in the truck races this year, too. Hornaday wins every race that Kyle's not in.

The race yesterday was pretty good, but still, I am sick of watching Hornaday win. Hope they find something with that rear end housing.

I'm hoping for a BIG penalty.

NASCAR gave them no points penalty:
