The No. 99 ThorSport Racing team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series was penalized following last weekend’s race at Nashville Superspeedway.
Jackman Evan Clay and rear tire changer Pedro Martinez have been suspended for the next two points races through Naval Base Coronado after a wheel came off driver Ben Rhodes’ truck during the final stage at the 1.33-mile concrete oval near Music City. The loose wheel is a safety violation noted in Sections 8.8.10.4A and 10.5.2.5D of the NASCAR Rule Book.
