Three NASCAR Cup Series teams were fined for lug-nut infractions after last Oct. 17 race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Each team was found to have violated Section 10.9.10.4 of the NASCAR Rule Book, found with one unsecured lug nut each in a post-race check. The safety violation resulted in a $10,000 fine for each crew chief — Matt McCall, crew chief for Kurt Busch on the #1 Chip Ganassi Racing team; Randall Burnett, crew chief for Tyler Reddick on the #8 Richard Childress Racing team; and Seth Chavka, fill-in crew chief for Kyle Busch on the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing team.
Chavks was the substitute crew chief for the suspended Ben Beshore at Texas. Beshore was serving a one-race suspension for two improperly secured lug nuts the previous race weekend.
