Kevin Lepage, driver of the No. 71 Chevrolet, was placed on probation until July 6, 2005. Lepage violated Section 12-4-A of the NASCAR Busch Series rule book (actions detrimental to stock car racing) by failing to follow a directive from a NASCAR official while stopped on pit road.

Kenneth Campbell, crew chief of the No. 23 Chevrolet driven by Mark Green, was fined $10,000 and placed on probation until December 31, 2005 after violating Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used that do not conform to NASCAR rules) for an unapproved roof flap modification. The violation was determined during pre-qualifying inspection.

In addition, Gregg Mixon, crew chief of the No. 7 Chevrolet driven by Greg Sacks, was fined $500. During pre-qualifying inspection the No. 7 was found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q for an unapproved air directional device.
