From Jayskis
Roush Fenway to Appeal #99 Penalty: NASCAR advised Roush Fenway Racing today that it will issue penalties against Carl Edwards (25 driver points), Jack Roush (25 owner points) and crew chief Bob Osborne ($25,000) for violating a rear fender height rule following Sunday’s race at Dover International Speedway. Roush Fenway Racing president, Geoff Smith gave a statement following NASCAR’s announcement: “We have the misfortune of violating a rule which makes no sense. It was promulgated to address restrictor plate races, not downforce races. I say misfortune because we are being penalized for a violation that actually impaired the car’s performance. We intend to appeal the unfair assessment of the point’s penalty. What is unfair is that Carl is receiving a penalty that is 250% greater in its effect than a similarly assessed penalty against a non-’Chase’ driver. ‘Chase’ drivers are competing for a total of 1,950 points. All drivers competed for 5,070 points in the first 26 races. Do the math. The net effect is that a 25 point penalty falls unfairly hard on a ‘Chase’ contender. That’s simply not right. To equalize the penalty impact on all competitors not more than 10 points should have been taken from a ‘Chase’ contender.
Whew. I’m so relieved!
“lol.. I’m a born in the midst of Vikings lore land guy yaknow .. Give ‘em a kick from this old fan.. and give us an update or two.”

So Edwards gets a 25 point deduction for a low fender and Stewart (whom I like) gets nada for playing bumper cars on pit road and trading paint on the apron during a yellow?
Must be one of those NASCAR “driver safety” issues!?!?!?
I can see if something was done intentionally but shouldn't they have tried to find out what caused the rear end to pass pre race inspection and then fail post race if there was no manipulation/adjustment to cause it?
It was all gravity. Nothing to see, move along.
Or maybe it was an aero issue. :-)
"Watch your language, buddy" got someone killed?
From now on, I'll only use that line on folks I know, or when I'm carrying...
