Kyle Busch and owner Joe Gibbs have been penalized six driver and owner points respectively as a result of the number 18 car being too low following post race inspection from Pocono.
This was in violation of sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B (body height requirements) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book.
Crew Chief Dave Rogers has been fined $25,000 from the incident, as well.
Statement from Joe Gibbs Racing: "We brought the #18 car back to our race shop and have identified the problem which caused us to measure low during the post-race inspection process in Pocono yesterday afternoon. We have made NASCAR aware of our findings and we accept the penalty they have issued today."
