I guess if the 48 team gets one Harvicks associates are more than deserving of the honor.

What did his Busch crew chief do to get escorted from the track?

Just like the 48 team, no points taken away, and the car still gets to start the race.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Kevin Harvick's qualifying time for the Busch Series race was disqualified and his crew chief was thrown out of Daytona International Speedway after his car failed inspection before Friday night's race.
Shane Wilson was escorted out of the garage by Busch Series director Joe Balash after NASCAR found unapproved aerodynamic modifications on the No. 21 Chevrolet.
Harvick, who qualified 27th, had his time disallowed and will start at the back of the field.
Wilson will likely be penalized heavily because he was already on probation for failing inspection at the last restrictor-plate in Talladega. Harvick was docked 25 points and Wilson was put on probation through the end of the year following the Talladega infraction.

Poor Shane he was probably trying not to be cursed out again, like last week for making Kevin look like a fool.

Gma, 50 points! Wow. Shane Wilson's a probation violator! I'll have to see what that does to his points lead. Back in a minute...
Nascar.com has his points lead at 338. Hopefully that's before the deduction.

I wonder if any of this justice will leak into the cup series ??

Could you see them hitting JJ for 50 points for knausing???? I think they would have a riot at the track!!

But cheating is cheating and if they are going to sock it to the BUSCH teams they had better do it to CUP cheaters too.

Sure would be nice if NASCAR would do something good with all this fine money they collect...what do they do with it anyway???

I heard it discussed, I think it was last year, your not going to like this but somehow the money is divided among the leaders. Didn't make much sense to me and they sure didn't explain it well.
I wouldn't hold my breath for fair play in cup.

[oncea3fan]

I am pretty sure the fine money goes into the point fund, so in a way the teams end up getting it back..

harvick had a 388 pt lead yesterday,
