No news is good news if you ask me.

Agreed. It's not like they would come out and say "We're not giving a penalty", would they? They just wouldn't and be done with it I assume...

I'm not positive, but I recall Vickers, Kyle Busch, and another driver being too low in Loudon in June 2007. Vickers did not race because his time was disallowed and he wasn't locked in the top 35. Busch and the other driver went to the back and didn't recieve any additional point penalties following the race. Besides maybe it will light a fire in his shoes and get him going if does get knocked out!

well it took a lo of digging but here it is from the june 2007 new hamshire race

Sauter and Kyle Busch Fail Post Race Inspection UPDATE 2 penalties announced: The Chevys of #70-Johnny Sauter and #5-Kyle Busch both did not meet the minimum height requirements during post-race inspection. #83-Brian Vickers failed post-qualifying inspection on Friday and had his time disallowed. NASCAR will take both of the cars back to the R&D Center in Concord, NC to test them further to see if the problem is the result of something that happened on the track or not. If any penalties are assessed, they are likely to be announced on Tuesday.(7-1-2007)
UPDATE: there was NO announcement on Tuesday, July 3rd, regarding any penalties for the #70 and/or #5 teams, no word if there will be an announcement or if the team will be penalized.(7-4-2007)
UPDATE 2: NASCAR has issued penalties and fines to the #5 and #70 teams that compete in the Nextel Cup Series, as a result of rule infractions found this past weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Both cars – the #5 Chevy driven by Kyle Busch and the #70 Chevy driven by Johnny Sauter – were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B, COT Technical Bulletin #3, dated 4/10/07 (failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2007 NASCAR rule book. The violations were found during post-race inspection last Sunday. As a result, Kyle Busch and Sauter have each been penalized 25 driver championship points. Their respective crew chiefs – Alan Gustafson and Robert “Bootie” Barker – have each been fined $25,000 and placed on probation until Sept. 19. In addition, Rick Hendrick, owner of the #5, has been penalized 25 car owner championship points as has Joe Custer, the owner of the #70.(NASCAR PR)(7-4-2007)

aren't the rear shocks given to the teams by nascar !!! kind of hard to give a penalty for something you control.

Remember the same cse is for Reed Sorenson, so far there was no mention from anybody that there will be penalties for either Reed or Robby.

RPM insists something broke... but did not elaborate.
Yet to hear a proper explanation from RGM.

I see Helton going up to Rob just before he takes his qualifying laps Friday and informs him of his 25-point loss.

Nothing new yet on Robby or Reed huh? Guess I'll keep waiting or maybe no points, just the start in the back?

Hitting the wall head-on was penalty enough.

It looked to me like he narrowly missed going through or out of a break in the wall. That would have been quite a story if he ended up smashing into motorhomes etc. I do not think they thought a car could make that much of a left hand turn and hit a break in the wall straight enough to get out.

I agree the wall was plenty!!! Just figured they would have said something by now...... He will get things turned around. Can't be any worse. THe cars and pit stops have been great, just not his luck.
