Matt Kenseth fails post race inspection

[hoyt]

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NASCAR officials said they will wait until Tuesday to take action against Roush Racing for failing a post-race inspection after driver Matt Kenseth won the Subway 400.

Kenseth's Ford was found to be about a quarter-inch lower than the minimum 51 inches off the ground in the inspection about three hours after Sunday's race in Rockingham, N.C.

It was expected a fine or other penalty would be announced on Monday, but NASCAR spokesman Mike Zizzo said the announcement was postponed, though he gave no reason for the delay.

Dale Earnhardt, Inc., was fined $25,000 for a nearly identical infraction following Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s victory last October in Talladega, Ala.

NASCAR said Sunday that Kenseth's victory and championship points are likely to stand.

I agree with you, however it wont help to take away a victory. In Vegas, I asked a Sports Book director about what would happen and he said "nothing". The books pay the winning tickets right after the race. they cant get the money back, and definitely wont give out more money.
the real problem will be if they start changing winners. none of the online or casino books will pay winning tickets until days after the race. they might call the race void and not pay any winners.
We do NOT want to go down that road.
