Biffles COT fails post inspection
Permalink  

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Greg Biffle's team faces penalties after his car failed post-race inspection following a fifth-place finish.

Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said the car was too low.

Pemberton would not speculate on the penalty, which could include a fine and points deduction, saying inspectors wanted to go over the car completely at the R&D Center in Concord, N.C., before a ruling is made.

Biffle's car, as well as the No. 5 of winner Kyle Busch, were taken to Concord as a part of what will be a routine process as NASCAR implements the Car of Tomorrow this season.

Pemberton said Busch would have the car back in time for Martinsville. That was good news to crew chief Alan Gustafson, who plans to use the car as a backup next week.

I thought with the COT, this wouldn't happen. Oh well.... so much for the fine inspection process they have now.

Greg Biffle got a fifth-place finish Sunday at Bristol, his first top-10 finish of the season in the No. 16 Ford, but the car was found to be too low in postrace inspection. NASCAR vice president for competition Robin Pemberton said Biffle’s car would be taken back to the research and development facility in Concord for more examination. Penalties will be forthcoming early this week. Biffle didn’t know about the problem, the only one announced after NASCAR checked eight cars after the race, before he left the track.
