Drivers'seasons stalled for cheating

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR took its strongest stance against cheating Tuesday, suspending the crew chiefs for Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliott Sadler and docking all four drivers points before the season-opening Daytona 500 for failing inspections.
Kahne, Riggs and Sadler are teammates at Evernham Motorsports. Kenseth, the 2003 series champion and runner-up last season, drives for Roush Racing.
Robbie Reiser, crew chief for Kenseth, and Kenny !francis, crew chief for Kahne, were suspended for
four races. Rodney Childers, crew chief for Riggs, and Josh Brown, crew chief for Sadler, were suspended for two races.
"It's obvious that we've ramped up our penalties and we're going to get people's attention," competition director Robin Pemberton said. "We're going to grab this one by the horns."
All four crew chiefs can appeal, a process that could allow them to work the Great American Race. If they do and the committee cannot schedule a hearing before Sunday's race, they would be allowed to participate.
the 500 will be the first race he has missed since the team's inception in 1999 — a stretch of 255 races.
Reiser and Francis may not appeal because delaying the suspension could force them to miss the debut of the Car of Tomorrow at Bristol Motor Speedway in March.
In toughening its penalties,
NASCAR made the unprecedented
move of taking points away before
the season has even started. Kahne
and Kenseth were docked 50 points
apiece, while Riggs and Sadler lost
25 each.
Reiser and Francis also were fined $50,000 each, while Childers and Brown were fineed $25,000 each.
All four drivers will start the
season with negative points — a move that most likely infuriated the teams, but sent a strong message that NASCAR will no longer tolerate rule-breakers.
Kenseth and Kahne had their qualifying times thrown out after inspectors discovered illegal holes in the wheel wells, which could have improved aerodynamics.
Evernham maintained the holes had been covered with duct tape that apparently fell off before the Dodge was inspected. But Pemberton said NASCAR believed the tape had been cut.
Riggs and Sadler's cars both had modifications that allowed air to leak out of the trunk area.
