NASCAR penalized Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) drivers Martin Truex Jr. and David Reutimann along with closely affiliated drivers Max Papis and Marcos Ambrose this week. All four teams were found to be running non-approved radiator pans and each fined $25,000. The crew chiefs of Papis and Ambrose were additionally fined $50,000 each and both lost 50 driver and 50 car owner points for unapproved added weight. Those points may prove costly in car owner points as both are trying to maintain a top 35 guaranteed qualifying spot. As long as NASCAR has been around drivers and owners have been trying to cheat the system with illegal adjustments to gain an advantage.
