CHARLOTTE, N.C.—NASCAR levied the largest combined fine on one team in series history Wednesday, March 15, hammering Hendrick Motorsports for modifying air-deflecting pieces last weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
Hendrick was issued a combined $400,000 in fines—$100,000 to each of its four crew chiefs, along with four-race suspensions for the quartet—and docked the drivers 100 regular-season points and 10 playoffs points each. Although NASCAR has issued larger monetary fines and suspensions, the Hendrick penalties are the largest combined punishment for one organization.
