Judgment day for: Musgrave VS Gordon VS Johnson
:no:
Whose penalty will be higher:

Musgrave:
The two collided in Turn 2, and Musgrave then appeared to intentionally ram the nose of his truck into the driver's-side door of Bires' truck. NASCAR officials black-flagged Musgrave, forcing him to pull his heavily damaged truck off the track.

Musgrave downplayed the incident afterward, claiming that he could "hardly steer" his truck after the crash. But he criticized Bires and other slower cars for not getting out of the way of the leaders on the track.

OR

Gordon and Johnson's Chevrolet failed initial inspection when the dimensions of their front fenders were deemed to be outside NASCAR tolerances.
:scrch:

The biggest hype of the day was Eric Armirilo winning a race he didn't even finished!

The penalty is okay, but that should have been on top of not being allowed to race last weekend. Riggs and Burton lost more points for being legal!

Any word on Musgrave?

I just checked on Jayski.com and are what I found about Musgrave:

NASCAR suspends Musgrave one race: NASCAR announced today that Ted Musgrave, driver of the #9 Toyota in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, has been suspended from competition until July 3, penalized 50 championship driver points, fined $10,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31 for a rule violation he committed during the race at the Milwaukee Mile on June 22. Musgrave was found to be in violation of Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing; hitting another competitor's truck during a caution period) of the 2007 NASCAR rule book. In addition, Bob Germain, owner of the #9, has been penalized 50 championship truck owner points. The next race on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule is at Memphis Motorsports Park on Saturday


Gordon

Hendrick Motorsports will not appeal penalties to #24/#48, interim crew chiefs named: Car owner Rick Hendrick confirmed today that the sanctions levied by NASCAR on Tuesday against the #24 and #48 Nextel Cup Series teams will not be appealed by Hendrick Motorsports. "The penalties are excessive," Hendrick reiterated. "But we're not going to put time and resources into issuing an appeal. Instead, we will direct that energy into our internal processes to make sure we have full confidence that our cars will meet standards when presented for inspection each week. We've said from the beginning that this would be a learning process (with the Car of Tomorrow) and there would be a lot of give and take between NASCAR and the teams to figure it out. That doesn't seem to be the case now, and I don't think it's the right direction to go."
#24 car chief Jeff Meendering and #48 car chief Ron Malec have been named interim crew chiefs for their respective teams beginning with Sunday's Nextel Cup event at New Hampshire International Speedway. "In Jeff and Ron, we have two guys who know their teams inside and out," Hendrick said. "They both have been here a long time, they both know the pressures involved and they both have the full support of our entire organization. We don't expect to miss a beat." Crew chiefs Steve Letarte and Chad Knaus will resume at-track duties for their respective teams at the Aug. 19 Nextel Cup Series event at Michigan International Speedway.(Hendrick Motorsports PR)(6-28-2007)
