NASCAR levies major penalty against Chase Briscoe, suspends crew chief for four races
What was a dream week for Chase Briscoe and the No. 19 team has quickly turned into a nightmare.
In his first official race weekend at Joe Gibbs Racing, Briscoe won the pole for the Daytona 500 and finished fourth in the season-opening race.
On Wednesday, it was reported that NASCAR gave the team a penalty for illegally modifying the spoiler on Briscoe's No. 19 Toyota. The penalty entails a loss of 100 driver points, 10 playoff points, a fine of $100,000 and a four-race suspension for crew chief James Small. According to Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass, the illegal modification was made to the spoiler base.
