#1 Chevy deemed too low

#1 Chevy deemed too low: The #1 Bass Pro Chevy driven by Martin Truex Jr. failed a post-race inspection when NASCAR officials found the height of the car was too low. The violation was discovered because the #1 Chevy was the random car selected for inspection after the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Truex finished 14th. Any penalties for the team will be announced on Tuesday, NASCAR officials confirmed. NASCAR also is taking three cars back to the Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C. -- the #2 Dodge of race winner Kurt Busch, the #24 Chevy of Jeff Gordon, who finished 13th, and the #5 Chevy of Mark Martin, who finished fourth. NASCAR also will take three engines to the R&D Center -- the #2 Dodge, the #11 Toyota motor of driver Denny Hamlin, who finished second, and Gordon's. The winning car and the engines from the top two finishers always are inspected in the R&D Center.(ESPN)(11-9-2009)

that's right .... you keep taking those Hendrick cars back

Andrew, that was fabulous----
ROTFLMBO (Kenseth did OK) SORRY I JUST CAN'T STOP LAUGHING. My son just ran downstairs and wanted to know what was going on

arnhardt Ganassi Racing team co-owner Teresa Earnhardt and driver Martin Truex Jr. were penalized 50 NASCAR Sprint Cup points and crew chief Kevin Manion was fined $50,000 for the Truex car being too low in postrace inspection Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Truex finished 14th in the Dickies 500 and his car was selected for postrace inspection.

The loss of 50 points dropped Truex from 24th to 26th in the driver standings, with Richard Petty Motorsports’ Elliott Sadler and AJ Allmendinger each moving up a spot.

Manion remains on probation through Dec. 31.

There was no immediate word from the team if it would appeal the penalty.
