Bowyer mechanic suspended

The AP is reporting that "Clint Almquist, a mechanic on rookie Clint Bowyer's team, was suspended by NASCAR on Wednesday for a rules violation at Martinsville Speedway...NASCAR said Almquist did not place racing fuel in the designated collection area on one occasion during Sunday's event." Almquist will not be at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend and has been put on probation until June 7. Think this will hurt Bowyer much during the upcoming race?

Re: Bowyer mechanic suspended

Wish I knew, but what you see is all the article said.

Maybe someone else here can shed some light on exactly what happened?

Jayski.com usually has more info, but didn't on this one. Doubt it will hurt anything unless they can't find a decent replacement gas man.

Re: Bowyer mechanic suspended

Did Johnson's team suffer when they lost the crew chief due to "Knausing" ???

Re: Bowyer mechanic suspended

It's important to remember that it is all about TEAM work. I have no idea what this guys capacity is on the team but generally speaking no one is beyond replacement. Hopefully there will be someone that can fill his slot for whatever period of time so the team doesn't skip a beat.
