  • Roof Considerations with the #12? The Dent, the Truthful, UPDATE 2:  hearing #12-Jeremy Mayfield‘s NAPA Auto Parts 500 winning vehicle has been impounded for “unlawful roof peak” found in post plug inspection. The divulge came when Mayfield jumped on the roof 30 Apr 2000: Jeremey Mayfield celebrates with his crew members after winning the Napa Auto Parts 500 at the California Speedway in Fontana, California.and dented it and took the vehicle out of spec. NASCAR is hauling the vehicle aid to NC for the dent the size of a fist where the roof peak is measured. The get will stand however hearing there maybe a ravishing. Moreover behold reports about this at: Gaston GazetteSpeedVisionTotal Sports and That‘s Racin‘
    THE DENT:  Speedway Illustrated explains ‘the dent‘ gorgeous successfully: “The divulge is the dent is on the centerline of the vehicle, 10” aid from the windshield—factual where NASCAR measures roof peak. 51 inches is authorized on all brands at this point. The dent it looks measures lower than the specification so NASCAR impounded the vehicle and can elevate it aid to Charlotte where supposedly the dent will be eliminated and the vehicle measured all over again(Speedway Illustrated)(5-1-2000)
    UPDATE #12 Fined:  NASCAR officers introduced they’ve penalized #12 crew chief Peter Sospenzo for rules violations found in post-plug inspection following Sunday‘s NAPA Auto Parts 500 at California. Sospenzo, crew chief for the #12 NASCAR Winston Cup Sequence team, used to be fined $25,000 and penalized below Piece 12-4-T in the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Sequence rule book: “… any vehicle found to be below the specified peak requirement after the completion of time trials or the plug …”(TNN Motorsports and That‘s Racin‘ and SpeedVision)(5-4-2000)
    UPDATE 2:  Getting asked grand about this action from NASCAR, what you behold posted is all I do know, looks many fans are up in palms over this. Many reports I behold remark this: the violation used to be for the #12 Ford failing to pass post-plug inspection after Mayfield won the NAPA Auto Parts 500 on Sunday at California. The vehicle‘s roof used to be measured below the minimal peak of 51 inches. The team tried to relate it used to be a outcomes of Mayfield leaping on the roof in victory lane. Alternatively, NASCAR fined crew chief Peter Sospenzo $25,000 for the foundations infraction(from a stoy at the novel time in the AJC. I am also hearing from some sources end to the team that: NASCAR knowledgeable the Penske-Kranefuss team they knew the problem with the roof stemmed from Jeremy Mayfield being on high of the vehicle after the plug, and they did no longer judge the vehicle ran that means throughout the plug. There used to be a foot-sized dent where the roof peak is measured. But they said it 2000 12uracedidn‘t win any distinction and issued the ravishing. I in fact salvage no longer seen any explanations from NASCAR along with what’s seen on the above sites and their reports. (and NO, I won‘t plug a poll on this nor will I start any campaigns on this, I construct no longer know of any appeal processes NASCAR has) AND from Speedway Illustrated(gigantic first divulge by the means): Fans are asking us(Speedway Illustrated) if NASCAR is on some form of mission with the whole fresh fines being handed out. The day long gone by it used to be introduced that Jeremy Mayfield‘s crew chief Peter Sospenzo had another $25,000 added to his fines for a roofline that used to be below the minimal. Kevin Hamlin, Dale Earnhardt‘s crew chief used to be also fined for an unapproved rear bumper. So, is NASCAR on the warpath? Speedway Illustrated sources remark here’s simply a “correction” of kinds. One crewmember knowledgeable us, “NASCAR lays off the fines for a transient time and we start crowding the rule of thumb limits, then they win on us for some time, ravishing a pair of folks and we aid off. Then all of it begins all over all over again. This happens every every once in a while. The trick is to no longer be the man who’s made an instance of.”(Speedway Illustrated) AND behold the story at NASCAR Online: Mayfield‘s team goals to jump aid, share of a quote: “noticed footprints in the dwelling where they had been measuring and NASCAR did squawk us that there used to be nothing unlawful with the vehicle”(5-5-2000)
