Violations happened at Dover 200
RELATED: NASCAR official release
NASCAR issued penalties Tuesday to the No. 74 team in the Nationwide Series of driver/owner Mike Harmon for violations from last weekend's event at Dover.
After Friday's final practice, NASCAR officials said Harmon's Dodge was found to have improperly attached ballast after it dropped lead onto the track. Officials also noted Friday that the matter would be further discussed at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina.
As a result of the infraction, NASCAR issued a $10,000 fine to crew chief Gary Ritter. Ritter was also placed on probation until Dec. 31.
The penalties fall under the heading of a P3-level violation, according to the NASCAR deterrence system implemented before the season.
The 56-year-old Harmon failed to qualify for Saturday's Dover 200, but took over the No. 87 entry and finished 39th in the 40-car field, completing just three laps. Harmon has been running at the finish in just three of his 15 Nationwide Series starts this season.
