NASCAR has issued penalties and fines to Chad Freeman, crew chief for the No. 69 team that competes in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour, as a result of rule infractions found last Friday at Ace Speedway.
The No. 69 car driven by Junior Miller was 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 – cylinder heads and intake manifold); and 12-4-R (any Member failing to surrender to NASCAR any car, car part, component, and/or equipment found during an inspection that does not meet applicable NASCAR specifications) of the 2008 NASCAR rule book.
As a result, Freeman has been fined $1,000, suspended from the next four NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour events, suspended from NASCAR until Sept. 4, and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
