DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 19, 2009) – NASCAR announced today that three NASCAR Nationwide Series teams have been fined and penalized due to rule violations discovered during last week’s event at Daytona International Speedway.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 19, 2009) – NASCAR announced today penalties and fines to the No. 33 team that competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, as a result of rule infractions found last Friday at Daytona International Speedway.

The second week of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series visits Auto Club Speedway of Southern California for the Auto Club 500. As many in the garage will tell you, Daytona is a "crap shoot" and teams get a real reading of how well they are going to during the season in California. The Auto Club 500 will be particularly important to the smaller teams still struggling to find sponsorship. A great run at Auto Club Speedway could mean survival of the newly formed racing operations. For others, like Ryan Newman and Jimmie Johnson, California will be a track where they can recover from a less than impressive Daytona 500.

Nashville, Tenn., Feb, 16, 2009 – When the green flag waved with six laps to go in the Camping World 300 on Saturday, NASCAR Nationwide Series veteran Jason Keller was right where he wanted to be, battling NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars for the victory.  Keller raced the No. 27 Kroger Ford Fusion across the finish line ninth, tops making him the only non-NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Driver to finish in the top-10.

It's that time of the year again -- the 2 month ARCA offseason that follows Daytona.  No complaints this year on that aspect, after all, the teams need the time to repair (or sell) their Daytona junk after the Daytona Crashfest 200 that saw nearly the entire field get swept up in accidents.  The most disturbing thing is the 11 race television package that only covers the big tracks and leaves ARCAville on the outside with no ability to look in at the short track races.

It's nearly March, and ARCA hasn't even attempted to get critical races like Iowa, New Jersey, Nashville, Toledo or Salem televised.  New Jersey and Salem are both races that could potentially decide the championship.

The debate will rage on for weeks and months to come, but in the end, the wreck Dale Earnhardt Jr. caused on lap 146 in the Daytona 500 was just one of those racing deals. One driver blocked another, then the driver that was blocked got a little too aggressive getting back in line.

There is nothing wrong with that, had it not been Dale Earnhardt Jr. The problem with the incident is NASCAR's continuing inconsistency in enforcing the rules fairly across all of its series.
