DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 28, 2010) – NASCAR announced today that three NASCAR Nationwide Series teams have been fined and penalized due to rule violations during this past weekend’s event at Talladega Superspeedway.

Paul Wolfe, crew chief for the No. 22 team, was fined $10,000 for violating Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules) and 20A-12.1A(8) (unapproved left front spring). Wolfe was fined an additional $10,000 for violating Sections 12-1, 12-4-J and 20A-12.3T (unapproved right front shock absorber) of the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series rule book.

Jodi Geschickter, owner of the No. 22 team, was penalized with the loss of 25 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship owner points for violating 12-1, 12-4-J and 20A-12.1A(8), and lost an additional 25 owner points for violating 12-1, 12-4-J and 20A-12.3T.

Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 22 car, also was docked 25 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship driver points for violating 12-1, 12-4-J and 20A-12.1A(8). He also surrendered an additional 25 driver points for violating 12-1, 12-4-J and 20A-12.3T.

The rule violations for the No. 22 team were discovered during post-race inspection on April 25.

That 50 point total drops him down to just a 10 point lead over Kevin Harvick in the Nationwide Series

Scoreboard Upgrade Will Greet Fans At Richmond

One of the first things everyone will notice at Richmond International Raceway this weekend is the brand new state-of-the-art video scoring tower, stretching 153-feet high above the infield. The video scoring tower is the tallest in motorsports and features more LED square footage than any other track scoreboard.

Four giant LED video screens sit at the top of the tower with each screen measuring 38-feet wide by 24-feet high. The video screens will feature live race action, highlights, replays and pre-produced video and graphics.
Below the video screens, a 67-foot high LED leaderboard will scroll through each position in the race running order.
