Why you don't want to be the first to park
Michael McDowell was first to fold on lap 34 at the Start & Park Poker Tournement at Loudon. Since the #46 Cash America Dodge, owned by Whitney Motorsports, was the first non-accident car to park, NASCAR tore it down. During the inspection officials found the engine valves to be underweight.
Whitney Motorsports was penalized $50,000, driver Michael McDowell was penalized 50 driver points and owner Dusty Whitney was penalized 50 owner points. Crew chief Jeremy LaFaver has also been suspended from NASCAR competition for six weeks.
I wonder if they had to give back the $69K they took home for finishing 43rd?

'zactly. They knew being the first to park they were going to get tore down. I also think it's a shaky decision to "acquire" a leftover engine from a defunct team. It's a leftover for a reason. There's a red flag.

So the last place car couldn't pass inspection at Loudon like the first place one of Bowyer?
