Kyle Busch's team penalized for Pocono violations

NASCAR on Monday penalized the No.18 Joe
Gibbs Racing team, with driver Kyle Busch, in the Sprint Cup Series for rules
infractions discovered during Sunday's post-race inspection at Pocono Raceway.

Race officials found the left-front end of Busch's Toyota did not meet the
minimum height requirement. It was 1/16th of an inch too low. Busch finished
third in the 500-mile race at Pocono.

Crew chief Dave Rogers has been fined $25,000, while Busch and team owner Joe
Gibbs have been docked six points each in the championship standings.

Officials from JGR accepted the penalty.

"We brought the No.18 car back to our race shop and have identified the
problem, which caused us to measure low during the post-race inspection
process in Pocono yesterday afternoon," the team said in a statement. "We have
made NASCAR aware of our findings, and we accept the penalty they have issued
today."

Busch remains fifth in the rankings, but now trails leader Carl Edwards by 31
points.
