NASCAR fines No. 45 Truck Series crew chief for lug-nut violation


NASCAR fined Phil Gould, crew chief of the No. 45 Craftsman Truck Series team, $2,500 on Wednesday after the vehicle was found with one lug nut not secure in post-race inspection last weekend at Pocono Raceway.

Cup Series regular Ross Chastain drove the Niece Motorsports Chevrolet to a fifth-place finish in Friday evening’s CRC Brakleen 175 at the “Tricky Triangle,” won by Corey Heim of Tricon Garage.
